for me it is even worse. even without running VirtualBox, i cannot get myself connected to my wireless network!

Steps to reproduce:
-install ubuntu hardy (both alpha 4 and 6 suffer)
-install virtualbox (using add/remove software)
-a reboot is needed (because virtualbox installed a new kernel!?)
-after the reboot no wireless network connection is available.

Stijn, virtualbox does not require a new/another kernel (which then triggers the bug apparently or you are missing some (restricted?) modules for the other kernel). Is it from -generic to -386 for you?

I'm marking it as duplicate of bug 188579, because it's the root cause ("virtualbox-ose-modules pulls in new kernel").
