I noticed that some of the error messages in this bug report are not in English. If they were translated to English they would be accessible to more triagers. Could you please translate them?

Also changed the title.

The new packages "linux-backports-modules-wireless-2.6.32-*-generic" should conflict with previous ones. So old packages will be deleted before installing, to avoid this bug situation. I notified Ubuntu kernel team.
