I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 (i386) on my IBM ThinkPad T42. Wireless (WPA2 PSK) did work, but the connection dropped randomly under load (Reconnected to my AP at least one time pr 2 minutes).

Did step 2, rebooted, and it now works. I have downloaded gigabytes of data and the connection has not dropped once!

So: Step 2 was a bug-fixer for me!
