When i perform these tests i have a seperat ubuntu installation for testing, so not to mess with my every day system. Every time i have tried one of your tests I have to shut down the computer completely for wireless to work when booting my every day system again. If i only reboot to my every day system it cannot see the wireless adapter, so something in what you are doine i the patch messes with drive adapter or the driver. I do not know if it is something like tha,t that has happend here. (even the win7 installation has problems seeing the adapter after the tests).
