Public bug reported:
I have Oneiric and Natty installed to my computer. In Natty and
Maverick, i never had issues with wireless, even when I was using the
prerelease versions (I suppose that's because they were more or less the
same components between those two distros) But in my new Oneiric install
I am getting many show stopping wireless issues.
I'll detail them in the order I encountered them:
First, when I'm at home, I typically use a Droid X mobile wifi hotspot
functionality to connect to the internet. I have input the correct pass
word and made sure all the settings are the same as in my Natty install,
but all that happens is the indicator endlessly shows it's trying to
connect and occasionally a pop up shows asking for the password. I still
have yet to get it to connect to the phone's hotspot.
Next, When I am connected to a regular router, sometimes, the connection
will begin acting up and slow down to nothing with VERY occasional
spikes of activity. Making it impossible to do anything online. The only
thing I've found to fix it is plugging into an ethernet cable for some
reason.
When i first tried to fix the above, i toggle the hardware switch for my
wifi and when I managed to get it back on, the NM-Applet would just say
"Device Not Ready" (But if I toggle Airplane Mode in the System Settings
network pane, it will connect in the slow manner described above.
Finally, there was an instance where I simply couldn't connect to ANY
password protected wireless at all (it would do what it does with the
DroidX hotspot and endlessly try to connect.
For reference, obtained my wireless/ethernet card data from "lspci":
02:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8191SEvA
Wireless LAN Controller (rev 10)
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E/RTL8102E
PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 02)
My Oneiric is fully up to date, if there are any other tests you'd like
me to run, I'd be more than happy to.
