so far I haven't reproduced it, but I haven't been here much today. I did let the machine boot and sit tonight and it connected on its own after about 20 minutes. I think that may be its "typical" behavior.

I am somewhat confused by how to use the mainline builds despite reading through that page. If I download the version linked as the "latest" http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/current/ -- at this moment it contains an amd64 kernel version "2.6.39.999" so wouldn't I need to compile my own modules? I found a page http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/info/kernel-version-map.html -- this says I would want to match the mainline build closest to what I already have, which (if I am reading it right) it looks like would be 2.6.38x so I could use the modules I already have.

I have compiled kernels before but that's obviously not what you meant.

I may have a few minutes to tinker with this tomorrow. Thanks for your advice...
