You have been subscribed to a public bug: distro: ubuntu 9.04 hardware: asus eee 901 driver: rt2860sta wicd: 1.5.9
When connection to an AP wicd sends this command sequence: 2009/09/27 20:56:16 :: Putting interface up... 2009/09/27 20:56:16 :: ifconfig ra0 up 2009/09/27 20:56:16 :: iwconfig ra0 mode Managed 2009/09/27 20:56:16 :: ['iwconfig', 'ra0', 'essid', 'kastrupBG', 'channel', '7', 'ap', '00:20:A6:56:58:5F'] 2009/09/27 20:56:16 :: Running DHCP 2009/09/27 20:56:16 :: /sbin/dhclient ra0 Apparently the command iwconfig ra0 mode Managed fails making all subsequent commands to the driver fail. This means the connection cannot be made. On the other hand skipping iwconfig ra0 mode Managed and going directly to ['iwconfig', 'ra0', 'essid', 'kastrupBG', 'channel', '7', 'ap', '00:20:A6:56:58:5F'] has the expected result, a connection is established. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete -- commands to rt2860sta fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/437804 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
