Firmware version 4.95 is the default on with Ubuntu 9.10.  Perhaps try
downloading that manually from the repository and put that in its
place.

Are you sure that firmware version 4.65 was actually applied to the
card?  These PCI cards are very finicky on how they upload the
firmware.  You need to check the output of dmesg to see what happened
when the card was detected by Ubuntu.

Where abouts in Australia are you?  I assume you have good reception otherwise?
