I finally got the b43 module to load at boot with the verbose=3
parameter. To keep things to a minimum, I'm going to post the output of
"dmesg | grep -e b43".

At 823.137165 an associated client is unable to ping temporarily, but
the IP connection resumes in a few seconds. At 1359.028638, the AP stops
beaconing. hostapd is restarted at 1524.184117, and the AP resumes
beaconing, though the client has to reassociate. Need anything else?

I found some references to older versions of b43 dropping hardware
encryption. Is Ubuntu 9.10 outdated already?

Thanks,

Eric Volker
