Wireless dead with next kernel

[gene heskett]

This is probably the wrong list, the machine is a lappy with 10.04 LTS plus 
all of the older KDE-4.5.4 installed.  I am going to try to make kmail work 
for an out of state trip the end of the week.

The updater installed a slightly newer kernel from the Lucid LTS repo's, 
but when I reboot to it, the wireless is dead, I assume because ndiswrapper 
doesn't load the dongles needed bcmwlhigh5.xx driver.  But if I try to 
reinstall it again, ndiswrapper says its already installed.  I can back up 
to the slightly older kernel, a 2.6.32-22 IIRC, and it all works perfectly 
and as fast as my cable circuit allows.

The newer kernel is a 2.6.32-34 IIRC.

And the ndiswrapper is 1.56, which I had to make from the tarball as Lucids 
1.54 has no knowledge of the bcmwlhigh5 driver.

Anybody have a clue they could loan me?

While I am here, what key combo brings up the early grub bootfile selection 
screen?

I have had to edit grub.cfg and change the default = 0 to a 2 in order to 
boot from the older kernel & bring back the network.

Thanks all,

Cheers, gene
