I've only experienced this with 2.6.27 (first release). My wireless card
(IPW2200) no longer works in that kernel, though it worked in any kernel
previous to 2.6.27. I haven't really traced down the cause of it, but I was
told that it might have been due to the different way firmware is handled in
this kernel version. To get my card working, one needs the ipw2200 module
(already included by default) as well as the ipw2200_firmware.
I haven't tried mucking around with other 2.6.27.x kernels. It's just not my
forte. But anyway, wired (ethernet) would still work, so it's not entirely a
lose-lose situation for me.
