Public bug reported:

I tried to use my old Lucent Wavelan Silver (Orinoco) card today and I
cannot get it to associate with a network.  Here is the system log file:

This is a regression somewhere between kernel 2.6.31-21-generic and

frohro at frohro-D610:~$ uname -r
2.6.35-23-generic

I will see if I can further narrow it down.

Thanks for the help!
