Public bug reported:
I have a kit PC that uses a Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8180L
802.11b MAC (PCI-based) wi-fi card.
On Dapper Drake (6.06), wifi worked 'right out of the box'. In fact,
this was one of the great things that distinguished Ubuntu for me from
other linux distributions.
I recently did a clean install (reformatted the whole drive,
repartitioned) of Edgy Eft (6.10). I've been using it for a couple of
weeks now, but never got the WiFi to work consistently. Once in a blue
moon it would connect to my home network (Apple Airport Extreme Base
Station (802.11b/g) with no WEP/WPA), but usually it would not. On
kwifimanager, it would see the home network, but when I try to switch to
that network, it would just say 'Connection Failed'.
My present work-around is to have a wired connection handy for backup.
However, this is not a long-term solution, particularly as I have
designs of trying to integrate this machine into our office network,
which uses a Linksys wireless router with WEP/WPA set up.
Any thoughts on debugging this issue are truly appreciated.
