This week I installed Arch on this laptop and the problem still occurs, so this is not an Ubuntu bug. Using wpa_supplicant directly leaves me with a blinking terminal cursor and nothing happens. iwconfig shows that the card is running in the 5GHz band instead of the 2.4GHz band that my AP is in, and any attempt to change the channel or frequency via iwconfig does not work.
