It still seems error prone to me.
Maybe a WiFi_WORKAROUND (defaults to False) or something like that?
Anyway, I second the removal of kernel version detection.
After the release, kernels older than 2.6.32 (let alone 2.6.28) will
be very rare on netbooks, so adding this small bump doesn't look like
a big disservice.
