Information from Ubuntuforums.com about upgrade to 2.6.15 working:

---snip---
after several headbusting reinstalls and hours scouring the internet i had yet
to see a cure for the most recent wine/steam bug. an incessant hanging roughly
30 seconds after runtime, and repeating every time it broke out (either thru
patience or ctrl+alt+f#'ing to a different tty) roughly 30 seconds later.

after closely monitoring my processor time for roughly 20 minutes and still
remaining under 1:40 between wineserver and wine-preloader, id say i may have
found a cure, or rather i assembled one, that worked for me.

wine 0.9.6-0 ubuntu breezy, running a ck1 patched vanilla 2.6.15 kernel and 8178
binaries from nvidia.
no hanging, steam is every bit as responsive as it is windows. finally back to
cs'ing w/o leaving ubuntu!

be careful, following the following instructions will displace your previous
kernel source directory!

following the instructions found here but change every instance of 2.6.14 to
2.6.15 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=84174

(modified 2.6.14 to 2.6.15, just change commands, worked identically)

and after booting into my new kernel (which was simple as hell to make, and only
took about an hour, most of which was compile time) i installed nvidia-glx from
the official nvidia binary on their site.

Counterstrike runs fast as hell, hotplug works flawlessly, ipod is recognized
still, etc. my kernel is newer, seems a little quicker on the boot (?) and
overall i would say a big improvement from 2.6.10.
