Comment 13 for bug 420678

Downloaded, compiled and installed compat-wireless-2009-11-06.tar but it did not work for me.

I am running the x86_64 kernel :

# uname -a
Linux xxxxxxx 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:05:01 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Removing and modprobing iwlagn says. :

#modprobe iwlagn
FATAL: Error inserting iwlagn (/lib/modules/2.6.31-14-generic/updates/cw/iwlagn.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

dmesg shows :
