Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The complete output of 'lspci -vvnn' and your '/var/log/messages' after trying to connect to the troublesome wireless network would be quite helpful. Additionally, if you could do this from Gutsy that would be the most useful. Thanks in advance.
