This all does not sound really good - i can imagine as you feel.

I would try the following:

Try booting a Ubuntu hardy live CD - test the 32 bit one, test the 64 bit
one. I use the 32 bit version without any real problems together with the
same wireless card.

If both work fine, you have got a software problem (upgrade problem).

If only 32 bit works fine - you could got with 32 bit (PAE extension, if
your mem >= 4 GB).

Wireless LED though will not work with the live CD - no backport modules
installed, but it is worth a try.

Ah, don` t throw this nice notebook into a river :-)

Peter
