I suspect that this wireless card will have the same power problems as a 4318. We are trying to find the problem. I couldn't find which kernel xubuntu 6.10 uses; however given the release date, it is probably based on 2.6.17. Neither 2.6.17 or 2.6.18 report the received power correctly. In addition, there are many more changes that improved 2.6.19. That version has nearly everything that is in either 2.6.20-rc1 or in the git tree at wireless-2.6. On my system, hangs are a thing of the past. With respect to WPA, do you have wpa_supplicant installed? It is absolutely necessary. I don't know what is required to configure xubuntu for wireless networks; however, the configuration process for SuSE 10.0, which I use, works flawlessly for WPA.
