On Sunday, the instability with my wireless card had increased to the level where it was requiring a re-boot every 30 secs or so. It was so unstable as to make the distribution unusable and I had decided to try and return to Dapper till the bug was fixed in Hardy.
However, there was a rare window of stability on Sunday night and I decided to update the machine. Twice it aborted because the wireless card got lost. On the 3rd attempt it updated. Since then, the wireless card has not crashed once. I do not know if the speed bug is still present because my system runs a startup script with the line: iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M
For now the system is working brilliantly so as far as I am concerned the problem is fixed. It would be nice to know however, that if I ever had to re-install the OS then the wireless card would work perfectly at the start. I still can not believe Hardy was rteleased with this bug: a rare black mark. But, I bet owners of Vista wish their bugs could be cleared so quickly - he he.
