Sorry to resurrect this one... Since 2010 or so I used an external WiFi dongle because of my issues, but now I decided to give the internal one another try.
I am now on 14.04 LTS with it, kernel 3.13.0-91, the driver loads and HW is recognized, but associating with a WPA2 AP fails: [ 1929.539251] AP(BSS) finding:Found a AP(BSS)..
