I've just run into this under Feisty as well. After having read
somewhere on the net that someone got it to work with ndiswrapper I have
tried that, too, but failed. I believe to have set everything back as it
was and would be delighted if we could go through this and see if we can
get it fixed once, for all, for everybody. If you insist, I'll reinstall
Feisty and start from a clean sheet.

Which is interesting, so it does work to some extent.

I haven't knowingly done anything to /etc/network/interfaces:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp

auto eth2
iface eth2 inet dhcp

auto ath0
iface ath0 inet dhcp

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp

When I remove the card from the computer and put it back in, nothing happens 
(no lights on), when I do it a second time, the lights come on and
