Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic

My wireless was working great until upgrading from Intrepid to Jaunty last night. Unlike other bugs, this has nothing to do with pm, it does not work on a fresh clean boot and 'modprobe -r' and then re-probing does nothing.

Kernel: linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic
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.

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_interfaces -> /etc/network/interfaces
etc_wpa_supplicant.conf -> /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ifconfig.log -> ifconfig
iwconfig.log -> iwconfig
lspci-vnvn.log -> sudo lspci -vnvn
uname-a.log -> uname -a
version.log -> cat /proc/version_signature

This is on my mythtv in my basement an 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 or 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!
