[ltp] T61 Gutsy > Hardy upgrade almost fixed stuff

[Phil Shotton]

Likewise - use it all the time. Sometimes it is slow to update (moving 
laptop from home to work for instance) - I would love to understand the 
process by which it does this so I can speed it up a bit. Doing "sudo 
iwlist scan" seems to nudge it along but sometimes disabling and then 
re-enabling wireless is needed. That said, 90% of the time it works 
without effort.
