Comment 16 for bug 548992

The wireless on my Dell Latitude D630 broke on upgrade. My wireless now continuously cycles between connection/disconnection. It is useless. I can't believe an upgrade broke something so important.

dmesg reports a continuous log like this:

Not sure how to fix this - above did not fix my connection.
