Public bug reported:
I would expect that wireless not be disabled once I have installed the
driver. Others have reported that changing to the upstream device driver
fixes the problem. It didn't for me. The bug report is reported against
a vanilla 11.04 release (ie. without the upstream driver installed, just
the one from the Ubuntu additional drivers utility)
