Thank you. Doing the above on my 9.10 karmic install on a HP mini 110 1030NR solved my wireless issue. Although I do notice some oddities like it not reconnecting automatically after going into Standby. But it is at least usable again. Thanks again for the information.
I guess while here: Does anyone happen to know if I will have to reinstall the source and recompile the modules each kernel upgrade or no?
