Hello Chris, I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to respond. The
truth is that none of the hoped-for fixes in the upstream kernels
worked. I waited awhile to see if things would get better, but they have
not.

Here are my latest experiments, and the results...

I downloaded and installed Ubuntu 14.10-beta2 today, and after updating
it, the kernel (as identified by the output of "uname -r") was
3.16.0-20-generic. That had the same bug, so no joy there.

I then went and downloaded the latest package for the latest upstream
kernel:

linux-
headers-3.17.0-031700rc7-generic_3.17.0-031700rc7.201409281835_amd64.deb

Installed this, rebooted, and confirmed that I was now running kernel
3.17.0-031700rc7-generic. But wireless was broken as before.

Removed the upstream kernel, ran update-grub just to be sure the system
would be bootable, and rebooted. Back in kernel 3.16.0-20-generic and
applied my workaround. A reboot later and I was OK, wireless fixed, but
not in a nice way.

I decided to give another distro a try, in particular, Linux Mint
Debian, which is based on Debian Testing. Same bug exists there, and
same workaround solves it. This is running kernel 3.11-2-amd64.

Well, at least it's not just a Ubuntu thing.

Let me know if you have any other experiments that you would like me to
try.

best regards,
Paraquat
