I think I may have found the cause of the wlassistant not working in Edgy. I have noticed the same problem as well, but I didn't use wlassistant to configure my connection. I just edited the /etc/network/interfaces file so the wifi part reads:
auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp wireless-essid XXXX-XXXX-XXXX wireless-key XXXX-XXXX-XXXX This worked just fine in Dapper, however when I booted in Edgy, although my wifi device was detected, it did not connect to the network. However, when I reboot and use the Dapper kernel, wifi works just fine. This would suggest the problems with the kernel and not with wlassistant. Hope this helps in resolving this bug! -- wireless assisant does not connect in edgy https://launchpad.net/bugs/64841 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
