[Bug 148093] [Regression] PCMCIA wireless card no longer works upon insertion (Ubuntu 7.10 beta)

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

This card was autoconfigured correctly under Ubuntu 7.04, with no extra
packages added by me for this purpose.  I performed a clean install of
Ubuntu 7.10 beta, and now the wireless card does not autoconfigure upon
insertion.  A look at "dmesg" shows that no steps are performed after
"pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0", such as loading the
appropriate module?  In 7.04, the appropriate modules were "orinoco",
"orinoco_cs", and "hermes", as well as the "pcmcia" and "pcmcia_core"
modules of course.  The pcmcia modules are loaded, but none of the other
three are currently loaded (even though the card is plugged in).

I think I read somewhere that the orinoco_cs modules are no longer
included in the 2.6.22 kernel...  However, we shouldn't expect someone
(my grandmother, for instance) to have to attempt to disable orinoco in
favor of installing and using the hostap drivers (if that is in fact the
solution).  We need to make things like wireless card configuration
somewhat transparent to the user.

This is the output of "lspcmcia -vv" (just in case):
