I'm also having this problem with a D-Link DWL-G520 card, which was
supported perfectly with the atheros chipsets before I installed
Intrepid. My Hardy install worked just fine with the network. Now, when
I try to connect to the network, it prompts me for my password. I select
the ASCII passphrase option. I enter in my five-character passcode and
it shows the two lights turning green and trying to connect. However, it
never manages to connect and it asks me for another password again. But
this time, it has the 40/128-bit key entry selected, with a key I never
put in. As per the triager request, I've attached a syslog describing
the incident. I'll also attach a screenshot of the password prompt after
a failed attempt.

Additionally, when I try to edit the network profile manually in
NetworkManager, I edit the profile, and for the key, I set it to WEP
passphrase and put in the passphrase. When I close the window and open
it again, it's right back at the 40/128-bit WEP key entry as if I hadn't
done anything.

It should also be noted that when I try to connect via command-line,
dhclient doesn't act the way it should. To keep this comment from
getting too long, output from dhclient can be found on the forum here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1078097 . Apparently, Ubuntu
receives a request from the router (192.168.0.197 is the ip address the
dhcp server on the router assigns to my mac address) but doesn't accept
it for some reason. I really hope this bug can get fixed cause my
desktop is pretty important. Thanks!
