Public bug reported:
I have a friend with a Toshiba Satellite A215-S7422 laptop. When he
heard that Ibex uses the 2.6.27 kernel with inherent support for his
rtl8187b wireless card he decided to agree to install Ibex. It installed
great and it sees his wireless card. We are also able to see wireless
networks in the area. However it fails to properly connect every time.
With the initial kernel included on the CD it would actually connect to
a network (WPA/Hidden SSID) however we cannot even ping the router
eventhough it says it's connected and it has grabbed a valid IP address
from the routers' DHCP server!
I have a mirror of the repositories and knew there was an immediate
update to the kernel so we installed the update and now it won't even
connect! It keeps going back to asking us for our password. I ran dmesg
and found some interesting messages complaining about no ipv6 routers in
the log which I am including.
