A look at the kernel sources gives me the following list of drivers that implement scan_capa:
ipw2200 hostap mac80211, which is used by: - rt2x00usb - rt73usb - rt2x00pci - rt2500pci - rt2400pci - rt61pci - rt2500usb - b43 - p54pci - b43legacy - p54usb - rtl8187 - adm8211 This means that, as far as I'm able to determine from the kernel, all of these drivers should be able to connect to hidden SSIDs with Linux 2.6.24-12 and network-manager 0.6.6-0ubuntu3. Gene, this list seems to cover your chipset; can you please confirm that you're running the current versions of these packages, or if not, upgrade and report the results? David, ndiswrapper is clearly not in this list, so does not support the scan_capa functionality; handling this driver will probably require addition of another quirk in network-manager along with the existing quirk for atheros drivers. On the other hand, it's possible that ndiswrapper does support the necessary interfaces when they're supported by the underlying wrapped driver, so this could be a regression for some other ndiswrapper users... on the gripping hand, it looks like it should only be a performance regression rather than a regression in functionality. So we're probably ok to go ahead with a change like your patch for ndiswrapper; it's probably best if Alexander comments on it first, though, since he knows this code far better than I do. -- can't connect to hidden network https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/50214 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
