The last section repeats over and over quite a few times.

I am using a Dell Inspiron 8500 laptop (the model with a 1280x800 15" screen and ATI 9000 chipset)

The card I am using is a Netgear WG511 (Made in Taiwan) - V1 - which should work out of the box basically as far as I can tell. 

I actually have two copies of the Netgear WG511 (Made in Taiwan) cards, both v1, and both works on Windows, and on other Linux distro using Prism54 (as well as on Breezy).

I have not used previous kernal to test as the .20 kernal version is the first one I've used on the laptop - installed Ubuntu using Flight 6 CD and then apt-get dist-upgrade all the latest updates and then put in card.

I am happy to put in anything else the dev requires to fix the bug such as the full dmesg log etc.
