well, it depends on the kernel, so it can work today but when you update to a new kernel version it can happen that it's not working anymore...
here are the needed drivers, but it says kernel version 2.6.32 is needed, and you have 2.6.31:

do you maybe still know what kernel version you had when it worked fine?

because your kernel version is pretty old, and updating the system might even fix your problem..

It was just an example.. I'm running ubuntu 9.10, and before that 9.04.. so I've got leftovers... figured it would be better than just making something up! The fact that you have two is proof enough that you've updated at least once ^^shabs wrote: Strangely /boot only mentions kernels 2.6.27-16 and 2.6.27-7. Not 2.6.31 as you mention.
Well, i suggest you do what I explained in the other post. edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and copy the relevant stuff to add a new entry and set 2.6.27-16 to 2.6.27-7. Don't delete anything unless you know what you're doing though.
