it a combination of the firmware and the kernel? can some one answer this? by the way in the updates list I found that the kernel modules were included and this time around the system demanded a reboot after the updates were applied. this implies that it was not a software update but a serious change to the kernel.
Most likely the latest version of Ubuntu contained the updated driver for your card. Most updates dont require a reboot except ofcourse if the main kernel is updated. Not even addition of kernel modules need a reboot.
