Agreed. Using Ubuntu since eft, and the issue with wireless got a lot better with Jaunty. Through Jaunty, and Intrepid I was not experience any issues with wireless, even Ath or broadcom. Enter, Karmic and these issues have magically cropped back up.
Note, as has pointed out this is a kernel bug, and NOT something to do with Ubuntu itself. The ifconfig issue happened to me in Fedora, and OpenSuse as well. Just have to wait for a new kernel release folks. Till then, I recommend using Wicd and the compatwireless drivers, they've been rocking for me.
