Comment 10 for bug 722185

I think I may have tracked down the problem, although I'm not sure why it is a problem. After extensive testing, when I build a kernel passing CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y to make, as it is in the ubuntu-style build above, the kernel will fail to connect wirelessly with the p54usb module. Without the option, it connects immediately. Tested it by rebuilding linux-image-2.6.38-7-generic with a minimal config, and seems to be working so far. Going to try rebuilding with a full generic config, but that will take about 3 hours.

Will include a patch of what I changed in build script. I don't see why the option should cause any problems, it only appears to add more verbose warnings to the build log.
