This is still an active buggy problem but I have wireless working again.
I reloaded 9.04. This time when I updated I deselected the bluetooth
updates and it seems to be working ok now. I'm not 100% sure if this is
the case or not but after a reboot after the updates I still have
wireless unlike before.
I now show this for the above:
