I have tested 3 access points with staging-21 plus my fixed WEP kernel that got included in staging-24. I tested as many connectivity modes as I could and I repeated each connection 3 times. I also compared to 8.2.0. I detected and ignored occurances of bug #8104 by looking in /var/log/messages every time I saw a failure (this bug appears often, unfortunately). After successful association indicated by sugar, I confirmed connectivity by accessing the AP's web admin interface using Browse.
Edimax EW-7209APG Open, WPA(TKIP) and WPA2(AES) working fine on both 8.2.0 and 8.2.1 WEP not working at all, not even working for my non-XO laptop. Generic/unknown device (totally unbranded outside, but web interface says Realtek is the manufacturer, and apparently the product packaging said Gi-link). FCC ID PANWA2204A Open and WEP64 working fine on both 8.2.0 and 8.2.1 WPA: 8.2.0 connects every time 8.2.1 initially failed to connect, AP logs said: "wlan0: A STA is rejected by 802.1x daemon - 00:17:C4:3C:C8:A1" (reproduced 2 or 3 times) but now it connects fine. I have not been able to reproduce any other connection failure, despite many retries on both versions. WPA2: 8.2.0 connects most of the time 8.2.1 connects every time and as above, I am not able to reproduce any more connection failures on either version, despite many retries 3com 3CRWE454G72 Open, WEP64 + WEP128: Working on 8.2.0 and 8.2.1 WPA: seems totally broken, can't even connect from my non-XO laptop. Conclusion from these 3 APs: Open, WEP64 + WEP128 still fully reliable - no regressions. WPA and WPA2 are unreliable (for the access points I have here) in both 8.2.0 and 8.2.1. The results are too inconsistent for me to judge whether there has been any improvement or regression since 8.2.0.
