need to restart computer to reconnect to interrupted wireless network

[ragnaroknroll]

I use a wireless network at home, and everything works fine till there is a power cut and the wireless signal is lost...
Once the power is back and the wireless signal is restored, Ubuntu refuses to connect to the wireless network and I have to reboot my laptop to be able to connect to it again... Even loggin off and on doesn't help...
I'm running a fully updated version of Hardy Heron...
I think my wireless card is:
0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and help to improve Ubuntu.

This all happens at the kernel level, whereas the wireless-tools package only contains the tools used for configuring wireless settings; so I'm reassigning this to the 'linux' package, since the kernel maintainers are likely going to have a better idea of what the issue is here.

I don't seem to have this problem anymore once I upgraded to Intrepid Ibex...
Looks like it has been fixed...
