Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-image-
My wireless was working great until upgrading from Intrepid to Jaunty last night. Unlike other bugs, this has nothing to do with pm (suspend / resume), it does not work on a fresh clean boot and 'modprobe -r' and then re-probing does nothing.
Kernel: linux-image-
Wireless card: EDIMAX EW-7128G IEEE 802.11b/g PCI Wireless Card
Symptoms:
wpa_supplicant starts, but wpa_cli does not start. No link strength at all, on my WPA2 with hidden SSID or even if I try to connect to a neighbor's unsecured router. It just refuses to associate with the SSID.
I have attached all the files I thought relevant
Since this is a internet problem, I cannot use ubuntu-bug to report the problem
Attached file contents:
dmesg.log -> dmesg
etc_network_
etc_wpa_
ifconfig.log -> ifconfig
iwconfig.log -> iwconfig
lspci-vnvn.log -> sudo lspci -vnvn
uname-a.log -> uname -a
version.log -> cat /proc/version_
This is on my mythtv in my basement and my cable modem is on the 2nd story of my house, so this is really a show stopper for me as there is no way for me to get this computer on the network without this wireless card working.
I'll probably try an older kernel from Intrepid next to see if that helps.
Until a fix is found, any work-around advice that doesn't consist of buying new hardware is also appreciated.
Thank you!

Just restarted the computer on my older kernel. uname -a:
Linux mythtv 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 20:53:41 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Still not working. Looks like it is not the kernel/driver, or at least not fully the kernel.
