Hi,

we are having a problem here with intermittent wireless cut out, the
only way I can get it back is with a reboot. Its reporting as "ignored"
and at that point I cannot get it back up. using hardy but not the
default kernel  2.6.24-12-generic.  have to use  2.6.24-11-386 for the
wireless to work for some reason.  anyway, take a look below, and see if
anyone has any ideas I may try.  Thank you.
