Now here's something weird. In comment #31 I had reported that by running the 2.6.38-10 Ubuntu repo kernel I had no problems.
Actually it's like this. Once I have booted using the mainline 2.6.37-6 kernel, *then* even if boot using the 2.6.38-10 Ubuntu kernel (but NOT if I do so using the 2.6.38-8 kernel) the wireless is still working. I tested this on another installation of Natty where directly upgrading to the 2.6.38-10 Ubuntu kernel doesn't solve the problem without using the 2.6.37-6 mainline kernel.
