I also confirm this bug for a Sony laptop, VAIO VNG-FS415M. Its wireless card 
stopped working after upgrading the system with the following packages:
 *  linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-21-generic (2.6.24-21.31)
 * pciutils_1%3a2.2.4-1.1ubuntu6_i386.deb

Module ipw2200 does not load any longer:

$sudo modprobe ipw2200
[sudo] password for XXXXX: 
WARNING: Error inserting ieee80211 
(/lib/modules/2.6.24-21-generic/kernel/net/ieee80211/ieee80211.ko): Invalid

When booting the system with the previous kernel version, the wireless works.
