Tried it with kernel 2.6.31.6-libre1. When I boot and log in everything 
is peachy: it connects with wired interface OK and when I unplug that 
I'm immediately connected to wifi. However, if I log out and back in 
again it's not so good. It takes a while for the applet to appear and 
when it does it doesn't connect to anything. If I click it it takes more 
then 30 s to show the list of networks (I can move the mouse but GNOME 
doesn't respond during this time). When the list finally pops up it has 
no connections in it. Right-click menu also takes a long time to pop up. 
When I reboot, everything's fine again.
