I have the same problem. Actually my only recovery technics is to start the netbook with wired internet. When doing so, everithing is working fine. I even received the message that my wireless network is now connected (WPA2). If I try to connect to another network everithing freeze again. I'm only able to disable "wireless". When I do so everihing work fine.
I've tried the work around describe at this link http://bigbrovar.aoizora.org/index.php/2011/04/30/turning-wireless-on- causes-laptop-to-freeze-on-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal-my-work-around/ Didn't work for me. If more information are needed let me know but you will probably have to explaine to me how to get it.
