Tor, Wow, the issue you described there sounds exactly like what I'm seeing! It's encouraging to know that someone else has experienced a similar problem and the issue went away with future versions. I'm hoping your right and it's just the driver in ubuntu 9.04 that has this problem
In the meantime I'll take a look at the wireless-compat package and see if maybe just updating to a newer driver works. Thanks for that link as well.
