I believe that I have observed this bug on several similar systems. Feisty is unable to connect to a WPA network (appearing to timeout/blacklist as described) on a variety of thinkpads that I have encountered on the same wireless network.
These laptops have the following wireless network devices (most are the 2200BG rev05): 04:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection (rev 05) 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) My observations are based solely on one particular WPA network, and I cannot say whether or not these devices work on other secured wireless networks (though my own 2200BG has little trouble connecting to unsecured wireless networks aside from bug#83178) -- Some drivers do not work with wpasupplicant, and therefore NM. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48473 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
