Yet another view: Asus EeePC 901 rt2860sta was fine on Karmic, including hidden ESSID and WPA/WPA2
on Lucid, 2.6.32-21 or 2.6.32-22, the ESSID must be broadcast and either of WPA / WPA2 works, but not combined. With the Ricardo Salveti kernel, or mainline ppa 2.6.33 / 2.6.34 lucid, ESSID must be broadcast, combined WPA/WPA2 works, but there are undesirable side effects, namely the machine will fail to resume from suspend, or will fail to reboot / restart, requiring disconnection from mains power and removal of the battery to even get back to the BIOS boot screen. The standard Ubuntu kernels do not have this adverse affect. For 2.6.32-22 (not not try -21), the vendor driver is can be manually brought up, but is not recognised by g-n-m. So for me, there is only one workaround: Ubuntu kernel, broadcast ESSID and use only one of WPA or WPA2. An unfortunate regression. I hope any potential fix is well tested on a good cross section of hardware. -jh -- [lucid] rt2860 frequently fails to connect to mixed mode WPA/WPA2 secured wireless networks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/496093 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
