I had a similar problem, wouldn't connect to wpa network. I then tried a combination of things, ultimately this has worked:-
Using ath5k driver (8.10 beta with latest updates). Hardware Drivers (gui): none activated /etc/networks contains:- iface wlan0 inet static address <my static ip> netmask <my netmask> gateway <my gw> wpa-psk <my huge hex key - copied from another box> wpa-driver wext wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK wpa-proto WPA wpa-ssid <my essid> auto wlan0 in /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf I then have:- [ifupdown] managed=true Not sure how relevant the above (NetworkManager) is ... or if my manual editing of the interfaces file has done it. I'd have figured the interfaces file would be read at boot, and NetworkManager would then reconfigure the interface using it's own settings? Regardless, it now instantly connects, good signal, good speed ... so the driver itself seems ok. -- [MASTER 0.7 regression] atheros/madwifi and orinoco drivers not supported https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/259157 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
