I agree it is a pretty serious issue for many and by no way mean to imply windows is anything but a well polished turd. All in all the upgrade to 9.10 on my netbook (Samsung NC10) was largely seemless (a few minor issues including this one that took maybe an hour to resolve but again I am a tech geek that loves the command line) and is much snappier than any windows as well as even 9.04. But for Joe Q Public this issue would be a showstopper. I agree this needs to be resolved asap as networking is always one of those issues that scare non techies (and with crappy drivers like ath5k and imho not so good Network Manager they should be scared). We are on the same page.
