Public bug reported:

two things.

The Wireless driver stopped working after today's apt-get update /
upgrade / kernel upgrade.

Also, before this problem appeared, wireless config applet in gnome-
control-center would only work for dhcp configs.

This PC is a laptop with two accounts. admin and non-admin.  using dhcp,
a non-admin person could get a IP address over wireless and work. I
logged in as me, admin, and changed to config to be manual IP address.
I checked "for all users".  but that really didnt work. If I logged out,
rebooted, and logged in as non-admin person, the laptop's  network would
not work .  The non-admin person gets asked for admin person to login
and give permissions.  Hence, that little check box to allow all users,
really does not work.

The admin person can then login and IP networking would work over
wireless, until reboot... except for this last patch upgrade and
wireless driver stopped working all together.
