Cisco 802.11b mini-pci in Thinkpad died with upgrade to Hardy

[dep]

The Cisco wireless mici-pci card in my Thinkpad T42p worked just fine until I upgraded to Hardy, whereupon it died stone dead under Linux (works just fine when dual-booted to XP). The network tools do not find it at all. It supposedly works with the airo driver. There was a Cisco driver and some tools available at the Cisco site, but those seem to have disappeared, or are hidden behind paid registration, though they once were not.

Anyway, I need some brute force method to get this thing working. Suggestions or, better, cure?

Thanks.

well. poked around on the ubuntu fora and found this:

# these aes modules break the airo driver
blacklist padlock_aes
blacklist geode_aes

added to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, those lines both speeded boot and fixed the problem.

Well done, dep!

Could you now edit the subject line of your first post to include SOLVED so that others can benefit from your experience...

Thank you.
