Public bug reported: I installed Ubuntu 8.10 on my IBM ThinkPad R60 laptop.
After installation when I click on the 'network connection' icon on the top right panel, it displays all the wireless networks available and also their signal strengths correctly. On selecting an appropriate wireless network, the animated icon appears and a popup asks for the wireless key after which the following text is displayed when I get the mouse pointer over it: Attempting to join wireless network 'abc' After 1 or 2 minutes the connection fails and the the popup for wireless key appears again. When I use the same wireless network with Windows XP, it works fine. The enclosed attachment (attachment.tar.gz) contains output of the following commands: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/tmp$ uname -a > uname-a.log [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/tmp$ cat /proc/version_signature > version.log [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/tmp$ dmesg > dmesg.log [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/tmp$ sudo lspci -vnvn > lspci-vnvn.log ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Wireless card on ThinkPad R60 does not work with Ubuntu 8.10 ( kernel 2.6.27) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305457 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
