I at least still have this problem in Feisty. More specifically if the prism2_cs module is handling the card then wlan0 claims to not support the wireless extensions.
I don't know why linux-wlan-ng is in our kernel but it's completely broken. Or rather it's probably not broken but requires it's own tools to configure it as it always has. orinoco_cs and hostap_cs both work to some degree. At the moment unless you need WPA orinoco is probably your best bet. If you need WPA hostap is the best but doesn't work with NM (because NM / wpa_supplicant chooses the wrong backend driver, wext, rather than hostap). orinoco works w/ NM but only supports WEP. If prism2_* must still be included in our kernel the priority for prism- based cards should be orinoco, hostap, prism2. -- Wireless Intersil Prism2.5 doesn't work in Feisty https://launchpad.net/bugs/76026 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
