Hi,
latest limbo update for package:
sys-kernel/linux-sabayon-3.3-r1
on my AMD64 laptop breaks WPA-PSK connection, I failed to connect to a
wireless encrypted network both via NetworkManager (either from
nm-applet-gtk2 or nmcli) and wpa_supplicant.
Downgrading to sys-kernel/linux-sabayon-3.3 (keeping any other Limbo
update) fixed the issue.
The authentication phase seemed to fail, even if any other wireless
functionality worked (scanning, iwconfig setting and such).
lspci -v output from linux-sabayon-3.3 is:
