I feel your pain, Ben. I remember about three years ago having my laptop working great with all manner of 802.11 cards. I could do my work anywhere in the house. And then it all just kind of melted. A new kernel for one thing but somehow something else fell apart. I've pretty much written off any wireless on Linux now. My time is worth more than the hours of troubleshooting. Keep plugging, you just might get it.
