Q: Intel 3945ABG [Golan] wireless disappeared after upgrading to 11.10

d3vidI upgraded my old machine, a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo PI 1505, to 11.10 using the alternate DVD ISO. Wireless networking was working before the upgrade. Wireless networking worked during the upgrade. Wireless networking is no longer working after upgrade. It is not available even before logging in. ...

Does modprobe iwl3945 bring anything to life? Does it alter the output of ifconfig/iwconfig at all?
Also dotkam.com/2008/11/17/configure-iwl3945-driver-on-ubuntu may be of some use, have you tried this?
Kernel 3.0.1-030001-generic? Are you using mainline ppa or something? Sounds like it hasn't got iwl3945 buit-in or as a module.

@Caesium see above for modprobe results (error)
@Caesium how do I tell my kernel again? I'm using what came off the installation DVD + whatever came through on updates... oooh wait, maybe I'm not, I had to tweak my kernel in natty to get s-video to work, is there an easy way to pick the current stable normal kernel?
@fossfreedom added lshw results above, thanks :)

I've never used that mainline ppa, so you may need someone with more experience to remove that (don't know the package name to remove), but apt-get install linux-image will put the default oneiric one back. CAUTION DRAGONS if you remove the only working kernel you could be left with a non bootable system, be careful.

@sagarchalise see above for modprobe results (error) currently trying to verify kernel version

Unless you have a good reason to, I'd stick with linux-image from oneiric and not worry about tracking mainline, to be honest :)

@Caesium I'm giving it a shot, then I'll have to test if s-video still works :)

You may find it's already installed and you just have to select it in grub at boot time. Hold shift to see the menu if I remember rightly
