Tried removing /lib/firmware/agere_sta_fw.bin per comment #86. It did not resolve the issue.
I did notice this: [ 45.996059] orinoco_cs 2.0: firmware: requesting agere_sta_fw.bin [ 46.001713] orinoco_cs 2.0: firmware: requesting agere_sta_fw.bin [ 46.016985] orinoco_cs 2.0: Cannot find firmware agere_sta_fw.bin [ 46.017052] orinoco_cs 2.0: Hardware identity 0005:0004:0005:0000 [ 46.017158] orinoco_cs 2.0: Station identity 001f:0001:0008:000a [ 46.017163] orinoco_cs 2.0: Firmware determined as Lucent/Agere 8.10 [ 46.017167] orinoco_cs 2.0: Ad-hoc demo mode supported [ 46.017170] orinoco_cs 2.0: IEEE standard IBSS ad-hoc mode and these kind of messages: [ 113.071307] eth1: New link status: Disconnected (0002) [ 113.355306] eth1: Lucent/Agere firmware doesn't support manual roaming [ 113.576228] eth1: New link status: Connected (0001) [ 190.994575] eth1: New link status: Disconnected (0002) [ 191.282878] eth1: Lucent/Agere firmware doesn't support manual roaming [ 191.463752] eth1: New link status: Connected (0001) So there's definitely a difference but it doesn't connect! -- Wireless network card stopped working with ubuntu 9.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/498336 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
