(Get the code!)
I upgraded to 2.6.38-10 the day it came out and I didn't have any trouble with it. Last night I did a BIOS update on my Acer Aspire 5920 and then this resurfaced. I can also confirm that by backing out to 2.6.38-8 also works for me.
Upon reading the release notes, there seems to have been several things done in the BIOS for my machine regarding the WLAN between the original shipping one and the latest one which I just installed.
Since the BIOS updates for this system require a functioning M$ Vista OS to install them, switching them out is a bit of a pain. If there is any benefit in it, I will do what I can. I am ready to assist in troubleshooting this, but I am not familiar enough with the inner workings of Linux to know where to start.
I am going to try some simple swaptronics by building and installing the latest compat-wireless to see what I get. Pass along any other ideas.
