** Description changed: When trying to connect to almost any wireless network, it never connects, the indicator just keeps moving until it says Disconnected a minute or so later. This happens 100% of the time with all encryped networks, and 99% of the time with unencrypted networks. I have so far have not been able to connect to an encrypted network, only unencrypted after several tries. - The very rare case when it does actually manage to connect (this is usually after trying to connect for an hour or so, many times beforehand, switching on/off the wireless with the hardware switch), it actually stays connected until you manually disconnect, and is also quite stable (downloads and PPTP connections work with no problem). + The very rare case when it does actually manage to connect (this is usually after trying to connect for an hour or so, many times beforehand, switching on/off the wireless with the hardware switch), it actually stays connected until you manually disconnect, and is also quite stable (downloads and PPTP connections work with no problem). Attached is a snippet of the old syslog from a few days ago when I was trying to connect, the current syslog doesn't have any relevant info as I am not near a wireless network currently. I will be in a position to do further testing tomorrow, if needed. The system is a netbook: Acer Aspire one, with Atheros AR5BXB63 wireless card - - + ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS Release: 12.04 + ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + network-manager: + Installed: 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu4.1 + Candidate: 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu4.1 + Version table: + *** 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu4.1 0 + 500 http://si.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main i386 Packages + 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status + 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu3 0 + 500 http://si.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages + ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + $ modinfo ath5k - network-manager: - Installed: 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu4.1 - Candidate: 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu4.1 - Version table: - *** 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu4.1 0 - 500 http://si.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main i386 Packages - 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status - 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu3 0 - 500 http://si.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages + filename: /lib/modules/3.2.0-31-generic-pae/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/ath5k.ko + license: Dual BSD/GPL + description: Support for 5xxx series of Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards. + author: Nick Kossifidis + author: Jiri Slaby + srcversion: FA2500C2D3C1A3B6094E37C + alias: pci:v0000168Cd0000001Dsv*sd*bc*sc*i* + alias: pci:v0000168Cd0000001Csv*sd*bc*sc*i* + alias: pci:v0000168Cd0000001Bsv*sd*bc*sc*i* + alias: pci:v0000168Cd0000001Asv*sd*bc*sc*i* + alias: pci:v0000168Cd00000019sv*sd*bc*sc*i* + alias: pci:v0000168Cd00000018sv*sd*bc*sc*i* + alias: pci:v0000168Cd00000017sv*sd*bc*sc*i* + alias: pci:v0000168Cd00000016sv*sd*bc*sc*i* + alias: pci:v0000168Cd00000015sv*sd*bc*sc*i* + alias: pci:v0000168Cd00000014sv*sd*bc*sc*i* + alias: pci:v0000168Cd00001014sv*sd*bc*sc*i* + alias: pci:v000010B7d00000013sv*sd*bc*sc*i* + alias: pci:v0000A727d00000013sv*sd*bc*sc*i* + alias: pci:v0000168Cd00000013sv*sd*bc*sc*i* + alias: pci:v0000168Cd00000012sv*sd*bc*sc*i* + alias: pci:v0000168Cd00000011sv*sd*bc*sc*i* + alias: pci:v0000168Cd00000007sv*sd*bc*sc*i* + alias: pci:v0000168Cd00000207sv*sd*bc*sc*i* + depends: mac80211,cfg80211,ath + intree: Y + vermagic: 3.2.0-31-generic-pae SMP mod_unload modversions 686 + parm: nohwcrypt:Disable hardware encryption.
