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.

** Patch added: "Remove the CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH option"
