So what is happening with this bug? It seems to be the same thing that has broken what was perfectly working wifi on my laptop when I had Lenny installed. But upgrading to Squeeze so I could continue to get security updates has left me with no wireless connection unless I plug in an external device. It doesn't seem to have been marked as fixed, as it should not be if it is still present in the standard Squeeze kernel, but at the end of one of the responses it says a fix has been entered into the 2.6.36~rc5-1~experimental.1 kernel. When will this propagate to the regular kernel issued to users? If it worked perfectly in Lenny, could it be that hard to implement the fix? Can I get a patch somewhere to apply myself while waiting for this to appear in the standard kernel?
