I am using the latest 64-bit desktop version, just downloaded a few days ago. My solution came from a search on the net and found that several other people have had the same problem. The other network configurations work fine, and the WiFi card is able to connect to an unencrypted network using the gnome tools-- just not an encrypted one. When attempting to connect to an encrypted wireless network, the connection is made and the network status shows packets are being sent with one or two initial packets being received, however the system is unable to communicate due to the lack of the encryption key being set correctly.
The Intel documentation for their driver is very specific in that the encryption key is to be set at time of module load. Initially, I used the Gnome tools set up the wireless information which just included the ESSID and 128-bit encryption key and to get the IP address from DHCP. I haven't messed around with Ubuntu enough to know how it's configuration works internally. Sebastien Bacher wrote: > Thanks for your bug. What version of Ubuntu do you use?
