 My bad, I did not look at the original report (not that the
original report had much details anyway - iwconfig/ifconfig/dmesg
output ?).
 All those bugs smell like driver or configuration issues. WEP
is notoriously touch and go, so I would try to isolate that. Also, it
seems that in both cases if the upgrade did involve a kernel update,
and I would finger that as a potential cause. The newer kernel
*should* work, but networking is currently in flux in the kernel, so
that may be the cause.
