One more update on this issue:

I can't connect to WPA2 networks, although _sometimes_ it works if I re-try over and over again.

I don't know why in Intrepid you enabled ndiswrapper while fwcutter worked so great on this machine. It seems to be causing this problem because it's solved after I commented this line:
    # replaced by b43 and ssb.
    #blacklist bcm43xx
and replaced the lines I mentioned above when I reported this problem with:
    blacklist b43
    blacklist ssb
    blacklist ndiswrapper
in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.

Now the problem with this solution is that it takes *ages* to connect.
