Comment 90 for bug 300693

A while back I completely reinstalled my T61p with 9.10 (amd64 desktop). I've since upgraded my kernel to the generic variant found here:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32.3/

There are a few newer versions. but I haven't tried them yet. At this time, my wireless is working extremely well. Before, not only would I get the intermittent lockups on the wireless, but I'd also get periodic stalls/pauses where no network traffic was passing at all. With the kernel from the link above, the system has been solid so far.
