Comment 12 for bug 192765

Tested on the Intreprid beta, no problem on wifi until I started OpenVPN. Updated kernel to 2.6.27-7-generic - and the entire wireless network is lost.

The live CD works perfectly, Intrepid work perfectly as well - until I update.

Here are the uptput from dmesg |grep ipw
