Comment 9 for bug 144239

I have the same error as above. The wireless card is a dlink dwl-g630. It used the rt61 module in fiesty.
I can get the network to work by manually changing the /etc/network/interfaces file to read

iface wlan0 inet static #using a static address
address 192.168.1.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
pre-up iwconfig wlan0
wireless-key s:your password for wep key (ascii)
wireless-essid your network essid name
auto wlan0

But it will not start up automatically when starting the computer. I need to go into network settings and untick and then tick the wireless connection to work.
