Hi Greg,

it's good to see someone having the hardware is working on this bug.

Yes, kernel-ppa[1] would be a good next step.

If the newest daily 2.6.38 kernel from that ppa also shows this bug the next step would be to test with the newest cutting edge compat-wireless package[2] on top of that 2.6.38 kernel.
If the bug still shows there then a report should be filed upstream[3], where there is a good chance that experts in this matter will actually look at this. The ubuntu kernel team[4] seems to be a bit overbooked with over 5000 open bugs[5] :-) and anyway the experts for this driver live upstream.

I don't mean to overburden you with this list, Greg. It's just an outline of what could be done to get this bug moving.
And everyone with the hardware is invited to help :-) .

Please ask if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Wolfgang
