There is an inherent problem in putting the driver in backports. To get
backports the person must use their wireless card to download the
package, if the problem crops up during download it will not resume on
the next reboot. Theoretically it would keep kernel panicking until they
hooked up ethernet and then downloaded the package. This, to me, seems
absolutely unacceptable when ubuntu is touting the new network-manager
and improved wireless functionality.


PS> Backports worked for me too, my custom compiled driver got in the way when 
I installed it the last time.
