After three years, I think people can judge for themselves who is being rude and especially who is being obnoxious.
Personally, I consider it pretty rude to make people do silly busywork and jump through hoops simply for the sake of protocol without EVER making any real progress. Being rude in words is not OK. Being rude in action is much worse in my book. That being said, I think it is clear that this ticket needs to be addressed upstream. It should be pretty clear by now that Canonical won't expend any effort to fix this and kernel work seems not to be an area of Ubuntu community effort. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/852190 Title: 7392:7811 Edimax EW-7811Un USB dongle won't connect to networks (rtl8192cu module) Status in The Linux Kernel: Incomplete Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The networks around are visible, but when trying to connect, the NM repeatedly asks for the password.
