Wanted to add a 'me too' to this bug.

Linux laptop 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:05:01 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Ubuntu 9.10 x64
Atheros AR928x Wireless

I have tried installing backports, using Wicd, using network manager, using ndiswrapper, and now using compat-wireless-2.6.32-rc7 and network-manager. With this setup, it actually allows me to use the wlan0 interface, and connect. However, I must manually start the interface on every boot using : sudo ifconfig wlan0 up. Also, the card constantly disassociates and re-associates. This causes tremendous amount of packet loss (~40%) doing anything, and will sometimes completely drop the signal.

Suspend/hibernate do not work on this laptop, when trying to use it the screen will come back with bright green/red/blue streaks along the top, and I have to hard reboot to get back into Gnome/desktop.
