ok, i powered on the laptop and plugged in the utp to run the collect for you and while typing suddenly the indicator popped up the message: wlan connected. and indeed it works. i rebooted the machine at least 3 times before, i suspect it needed a full power cycle.
sorry for bothering all of you. still it is curious why this happened (all channels taken and i got interfered so the adapter tried an other one? i see only 4 wifi device around me) and why did it skipped channels 1 to 14 on purpose? and why try to connect to a channel which will not be good according to iwlist? -- wlan adapter forced by karmic to use invalid channel on msi wind https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/480352 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
