breezy - dapper upgrade broke wireless

[quintessentialk]

I've had very similar problems to Todd here. Since my recent update,
Ubuntu now freezes during boot at "loading hardware drivers."  I
believe I have the same card as he, but a different laptop. Later
attempts to configure generate very similar errors.



Anyone have ideas?
