Drivers in /lib/modules/2.6.20-*-generic/kernel/ubuntu/net directory conflicts
with hostap drivers in generic kernel.
Problem is that wireless device exists but is unable to find any network or
show WPA encryption (only WEP).
Moving the net directory enables the hostap drivers to load properly and solves
the problem.
