If they issue is fixed with Karmic, great. Mark the bug Fix Released.

If the issue remains, next have the try the following.

"Can you please try installing the following package. It contains an
updated compat wireless stack which may help.

linux-backports-modules-wireless-karmic-generic

If the issue still remains even after this, I'd encourage you to also
try installing the latest compat-wireless stack from upstream -
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download . This will allow us to
escalate this issue to the upstream developers. Please let us know your
results. Thanks."
**********
This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in
it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try
with the latest Karmic 9.10 release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are
available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If the issue remains, could you run the following command from a
Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) while running Karmic. It
will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this
report.

apport-collect -p linux 471163

[^_Pepe_^ (jose-angel-fernandez-freire)]

I'm terribly sorry for this error:

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

[RoyK (roysk)]

Bug seems to be gone from 2.6.32-02063202-generic, but still resident in 2.6.31-02063109. what more can be done to isolate this?

[^_Pepe_^ (jose-angel-fernandez-freire)]

@RoyK

These are great news. We think this is not relevant enough to open a kernel update, so I guess we can update this as Fix Commited.

Regards.
