Yeah, I'll add my name to those saying sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-karmic-generic fixes the problem, or at least tries to. Before I installed that and rebooted, Hulu.com was virtually unusable, and tail -f /var/log/syslog Nov 21 20:23:20 darkstar wpa_supplicant[1157]: CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS

Since the reboot, I've watched the whole of Family Guy via Hulu.com without incident. So whatever's in those backports appears to have fixed this specific issue.
