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.
