I can confirm this with a netgear card. I did have some problems when upgrading : (1) linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-generic couldn't load the module because of unresolved symbol issues ; (2) linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-386 can load the module but cannot set mode to non-managed.
So I'm still using 2.6.15(-27). Hope those informations help. -- Cannot set modes other than 'Managed' on Atheros based wifi card https://launchpad.net/bugs/62106 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
