Public bug reported:

I just upgraded to dapper, was pleased that it had support for my wireless lan card. However it picks the wrong firmware images. My card is a US robotics 5416 (Texas Instruments ACX 111 chipset, it's a PCI card not a USB dongle)

kubuntu picks firmware version 2.3.1.31, that didn't work so I modprobed with firmware_ver=1.2.0.30 and that worked right away.

Btw, how do I ensure that at boot time the correct firmware images are chosen ?
