I solved this by using madwifi-old. I think the problem I am having is due to the wifi router (using the one of an upstairs neighbor with his approval, but don't know what chipset it has) using agere/orinoco: See http://madwifi.org/ticket/698. I think this is why some see a problem and some do not.
So to use the madwifi-old: 1. install the sharutils and the build-essential packages 2. uninstall the restricted-modules package 3. Get old madwifi http://snapshots.madwifi.org/madwifi-old-current.tar.gz 4. untar, make, sudo make install 5. Check to make sure old modules are not loaded and remove if they are. 6. sudo modprobe ath_pci 7. sudo dhclient ath0 This gets my connection as before in Dapper. Also, when I reboot, the connection is there automatically.
