Christopher, the Thinkpad T40 is currently running Quantal as upgraded from Precise. It is running the precise kernel because 3.5-rc4 tests the pae flag before booting - the T40 (T41, T42, T43) have Pentium M which does not have the pae flag.
So the latest mainline kernel won't run on Pentium M although much of the rest of Quantal is running well with the Precise non-pae kernel. I haven't tried going back to the Meerkat kernel which does support Aironet. I'm running the Thinkpad by using a Realtek wireless card, however on every boot Quantal (or Precise) insists on connecting with the Aironet, connects, then the kernel disconnects no reason given, then repeat. Manually I disconnect the Aironet, Quantal disconnect message once more, then runs O.K. until the next boot. Maybe there's a way to turn this scenario off once and for all. I do share the Realtek wireless with my Thinkpad R31, does have pae, but no built in wireless. Since I don't run both at once I plug/unplug the card. There are some USB wireless devices however I don't know if they are supported by Ubuntu Quantal. Thanks for looking at this bug. Since the later kernels do recognize Aironet and do connect before disconnecting I thought it would be just a bug causing the disconnect.
