Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: unity
Sony Vaio X upgraded to 11.04 with 2.6.38-8-generic i686 which improved some
features but which introduced a serious WiFi problem: while unsecured WiFi
works well, connecting via WPA & WPA Pesonal password fails consistently
despite reboots of everything and renaming of SSID. Another laptop running 10
still works fine. One hint: upon upgrading, there was the warning that the
laptop hardware did not support Unity and I always get the classic Gnome
display.
Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter
Qualcom Sony Gobi 2000 Wireless Modem
ifconfig shows no packets with wlan0 or any connectivity.
iwconfig shows correct SSID and other info.
dmsg shows "wlan0: direct probe to f8:7b:7a:2b:a7:d1 timed out"
Restarting the network has no effect but there is a message that
"Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is dprecated because it may not enable
again some interaces"
This bug report is done with another laptop running Maverick because the Vaio
can't connect and I don't dare upgrade the 2nd laptop until this problem is
resolved.
