The Ubuntu Karmic linux-backports-modules package is based on
compat-wireless-2.6.32-rc4. I'm wondering if its something specific to
the p54pci driver? I'm using iwlagn (4965) from that package with no
problems (so far).

Its not clear what version of stable compat-wireless you've tried. Does
compat-wireless-2.6.32-rc6 exhibit the same problem?
