I think I may have found the cause of the wlassistant not working in Edgy. I have noticed the same problem as well, but I didn't use wlassistant to configure my connection. I just edited the /etc/network/interfaces file so the wifi part reads:

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless-essid XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
wireless-key XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

This worked just fine in Dapper, however when I booted in Edgy, although my wifi device was detected, it did not connect to the network. However, when I reboot and use the Dapper kernel, wifi works just fine. This would suggest the problems with the kernel and not with wlassistant. Hope this helps in resolving this bug!
