(Get the code!)
Confirmed on a clean install of Hardy final (both i386 and amd64 variants tried). Very [censored] annoying.
Fixed with adding "rmmod ssb && rmmod ndiswrapper && modprobe ndiswrapper" to /etc/rc.local, BUT once my laptop boots it takes a looong time trying to connect to the wireless network, which eventually fails. If I try again by clicking on the network manager applet and selecting the default network, it connects nearly instantly though.
On Gutsy my wireless (once ndiswrapper was up and running) had been more reliable than on Vista (which frequently refuses to connect because the HP driver sucks, ndiswrapper uses an older Dell driver, which appearently works better on a HP laptop. WTF).
I've heard in other discussions of this problem that the hardy kernel was compiled with an option which always loads ssb. If this is true, please get me a kernel update with that option off!
