I'm having the same problem -- last character of my ESSID is being
dropped with 2.6.20-16.  Using linux-image-2.6.20-16-386 and wireless-
tools-28-1ubuntu3; all packages current as of today for Feisty Fawn /
7.04.

If I boot into an older kernel (linux-image-2.6.17-11-386 (same system,
not changing any other packages), this problem goes away. (Unless I've
implemented the extra-character workaround in /etc/network/interfaces,
in which case the problem comes back, but anyway....)

Interestingly, just after the upgrade to Feisty Fawn, the r818x (and the
ieee80211-rtl it depends on) module no longer loads automatically.  A
simple "modprobe r818x" fixes this, but shouldn't be necessary.  No
evidence yet this is related to the ESSID truncation.
