The latest firmware update for the PS3 (v2.0) for some reason removes wireless configuration from your PSUbuntu Network Manager.

The solution is to upgrade your kernel using the linux-kernel-2.6.23-rc7_tools package.

Here’s how to do it:

• Get the tar file and copy it to your PSUbuntu Desktop (use a usb-stick or other media)
• Extract the files and run the .deb files linux-headers.., linux-image.., and wifi-radar (wifi-radar not necessary?)
• Reboot, and your wireless network shold be available again.

If anyone has any idea as to why this happened, or if there are other ways to get Wifi back, let us know!

Today Sony are releasing a significant firmware update (1.80) for the Playstation 3. Here are some of the new features:

• Upscaling DVDs and PS1 and PS2 games to 1080p resolution.
• PSP Remote play via internet.
• DLNA media center connectivity.
• Photo printing with compatible Epson printers.
• Zoom and trim images + a new type of slideshow.
• Transfer save files from the PS3 using memory card adaptor.

Upscaling to HD resolution and DLNA are the biggest changes, and seems to work flawlessly. DLNA adds a button under the Picture, Music and Video menus of the XMB titled “Search for Media Servers”, which seems to work well in a Windows environment. If you have experience about DLNA using Linux, please let us know.
