Ubuntu-Chicago Wireless Problem

[Mike Greenwood]

Well I was doing some hot swap with another crappy card that was prism based
and needed hostap to work.  IT worked bug was buggy.... real buggy with
dapper.

So I swapped to this know good card and then I had the same problem.  So I
did a fresh install and the card worked?  now the same problem..

Just a thought. I install samba right before this problem started.  Could
that be blocking something?  seems like a reach but... I'm lost.
