I have no real help to your specific problem, but you need to provide some solid useful data so others can debug the problem. Based on stuff in the other thread about what versions work and don't work, and the above, I recommend you do the following: 1. provide for each of the two Ubuntu's and Debian the output of: uname -a 2. provide for each of the two ubuntu's and debian the output of: lsmod 3. provide for the working ubuntu the output of: ifconfig -a iwconfig -a 4. provide for the broken ubuntu and debian *before* it breaks: ifconfig -a iwconfig -a 5. provide for the broken ubuntu and debian *after* it breaks, but before you do whatever you might do to fix it: ifconfig -a iwconfig -a 6. from any one of the version, provide the output of: lspci 7. in the debian version, open a terminal and run, as root, `tail -f /var/log/syslog`, then start a torrent that you know will fail. Watch the log output in the terminal and when the torrent fails note if there is any output. If there is any output that looks remotely relevant, then paste that in as well. The idea here is to give concrete information about known working states and known broken states so people can see the difference and maybe diagnose the problem. The output may be pretty long, so if you are uncomfortable submitting it in an email, then put it up on the web somewhere. A pastebin would be appropriate. hope this helps. A
