I'm with Robert- this seems like a design flaw to me. I've got an atheros wireless card, so every time the kernel is updated, I have to hook up a switch and update linux-restricted over the wire. For me, it's not really that big of a deal, but I could never set my parents up with Ubuntu if this type of behavior is to be expected from upgrades.
