Yes, I never did have a failure with the vanilla nspluginwrapper. I used it for a couple days before I decided I'd call it a success.

Since then, I've been making builds of the ubuntu nspluginwrapper deb with various patches removed in an attempt to determine exactly what is causing it to behave differently than the vanilla package, without success.. I'm still fighting it.

If you look at my directions in the previous comment:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/246450/comments/6

this is basically the procedure to use for 1.1.2, but you should download nspluginwrapper 1.1.2 of course, and use "apt-get build-dep nspluginwrapper" rather than the apt-get install... to install dependencies.

Also at this point:
cd install_flash_player_9_linux/
nspluginwrapper -i ./libflashplayer.so
nspluginwrapper -v -a -u

You should instead do:
cd install_flash_player_9_linux/
cp ./libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins
cd ~/.mozilla/plugins
nspluginwrapper -i ./libflashplayer.so
nspluginwrapper -v -a -u

..because the first version works, but once you remove install_flash_player_9_linux flash will no longer work.
