Well, this bug is still there, when my wifes laptop upgraded the kernel to 3.2.0-40-generic-pae, wireless died again for the 4 th or 5 th time, solution was again to go to the /compat-wireless directory, sudo make, sudo make install, and then reboot. These steps seem to indicate that the standard build somehow cannot build a proper working driver with correct antenna support code. Luckily my wife has aomeone ( ME ) that can recompile her wireless driver, so all is well until NEXT time the kernel is updated.
