And upgrade your driver to at least the latest stable release:

http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-2.6-stable/v2.6.32/compat-wireless-2.6.32.3.tar.bz2

I should note that although Ubuntu 9.10 will continue on
using 2.6.31 the 2.6.31 kernel has now reached its last kernel
release so if you want to get newer updates you will need
to upgrade.

Fortunately Ubuntu also has mainline kernel builds now which you
can use to upgrade to newer kernels:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

These won't be supported by your distribution, but the next Ubuntu
release (Lucid) should be using and supporting 2.6.32 on it.
