Bug Description

I recently lost the wireless networking in feisty.
I have two different usb wireless network card.
D-link dwl-g122 version b1 (rt2570 driver)
D-link dwl-g122 version c1 (rt73usb driver)

Version b1 was working since Dapper until just recently .
Version c1 was working a short period in Feisty (think it was kernel 2.6.20-8).

Now none of them work but I get different error messages from the network monitor (see attached logs).

Launchpad Janitor (janitor) wrote : This bug is now reported against the 'linux' package

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this bug to the new "linux" package. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!
