Had the same problem with Ubuntu Feisty Fawn...apparently it's got something to do with a new device driver that's included along with the Kernel upgrade. A driver called "b43".
What I did, to a fresh and UNUPDATED install of Ubuntu Feisty Fawn, is I blacklisted the typical bcm43xx Broadcom driver, AND I also blacklisted b43. I did this by entering "sudo gedit/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist" into the terminal, then as requested entered my password, and finally I added the lines "blacklist bcm43xx" and "blacklist b43" to the end of the document. I saved this document, and then restarted my system. After restarting the system I went through the typical steps to set- up/install ndiswrapper and the windows driver for my Broadcom card. After setup and connection of my wireless card to my router...I installed all updates, and restarted my system. Before, when doing this process without the line "blacklist b43" I'd lose my ability to use my wireless card after restart. But now, I'm still able to use my card. I don't know if blacklisting b43 after update yields the same success, I've only attempted this beforehand. I got this tip from a Fedora forum.
