Just some more info that perhaps will be helpful.  I decided to try a
Live-CD version and some other options to see if the card would connect.
Here are the results:

- Installed Xubuntu-9.04 onto a thumbdrive via 'unetbootin'.  Used a downloaded 
.iso I had.
- Booted off thumbdrive with no problems, and CONNECTED with no problems at 
54Mbps!
- Went ahead and installed onto HD by creating another partition.  However, 
according to grub, both boot off /dev/sda1.
- After install, attempted to boot both my old install and the new, both booted 
and *both connected*.  However, the old connected at 1Mbps and the new at 
54Mbps.  After a few seconds though, the new dropped down to 1 Mbps.
- Decided to boot off thumbdrive again and it connected again @ 1Mbps.  After a 
few seconds, it went to 54Mbps.  After a few more seconds, it dropped back to 
1Mbps.  After coming to this page and typing a bit...the speed now says 
"unknown".

Also, as a side note when I "upgraded" my 8.10 to 9.04 and originated
this problem, my wireless button was lit red and would not connect until
it was blue.  Now with the new install, it seems it is blue when not
connected and red when it *does* connect.

Hypothesis: The upgrade was/is using some old 8.10 stuff which resulted
in not connecting at all.  I'm also thinking the fresh 9.04 code is just
having problems keeping speeds but does seem to connect.  I'm going to
blow out the HD and do a full, fresh install so that no 8.10 code
lingers.  I'm predicting the same results as booting off the thumbdrive:
consistent connection, but unreliable speeds.

Hope this helps.  My next post will be the 'apport-collect' command
running off the thumbdrive.
