This is not a Ubuntu Bug; it is in fact an error with the package madwifi which ubuntu installs to manage some wireless cards. There is a branch version of this package that can be used to fix this problem, but the ubuntu development team does not control madwifi in any way. This problem will resolve itself when madwifi version 0.9.5 is released, so posting in this thread will in no way aid or speed up the process of correcting this error. The status of this thread should from this time forth be marked as closed until the new madwifi package is released and added to the ubuntu repositories.
