I have this same issue, I have never been able to get wireless to work with ubuntu, I have however had it working with fedora with no effort at all.

Hopefully someone can help you (us) as I prefer ubuntu.

make sure that there is no reference to the wireless interface in /etc/network/interfaces

I found this, maybe it will work for you, I havn't had a chance to test it yet.
