Installed new kernel and now madwifi drivers are gone
I deleted my /boot partition, so I reinstalled the kernel and grub and now I don't have the madwifi drivers that I need for my wireless card. I tried to plug my computer in to an Ethernet thing and run apt-get install madwifi but some how I ruined my apt-get.
Most drivers are build against the kernel they are used for. You'd have to rebuild the drivers again as you have a new kernel. As for your apt problem, create a sources.list (if that's the problem ) from the sticky thread on top of this forum
