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!
