This bug seems to be very similar to #487978. In my testing I found: 2.6.28-14 has working hostap for prism2.5 (but is unusable for me on karmic because the synaptic driver doesn't work with karmic's Xorg) 2.6.28-15 has broken hostap 2.6.31-9 has working hostap (and synaptic) and I'm using it now 2.6.31-10 (and all further versions) have broken hostap 2.6.32-7 has broken hostap
I got 2.6.31-9 from here (it was somewhat troublesome to find): https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/i386/linux-image-2.6.31-9-386/2.6.31-9.29 The only difference I've noticed is that in the cases where hostap works I get this message: ACPI: BIOS age (1997) fails cutoff (2000), acpi=force is required to enable ACPI I don't know if it is a red-herring or not yet, but this was consistent in both 2.6.28 and 2.6.31. When I saw this message, hostap worked, when I didn't it didn't. FYI, my log messages match those in #487978 on all failing kernels, specifically this: [ 24.300028] wifi0: hfa384x_cmd: entry still in list?
