Public bug reported:
Using 12.04 x86 32 bit fresh installation. No additional PPAs enabled,
all up to date otherwise (via wired connection). Intel Centrino laptop
using ipw2200 wireless.
Not sure what package to report this against. Don't think it's network
manager related because I still can't connect even if I don't use
network manager.
This machine has successfully connected to my WEP network with the same
configuration in Ubuntu 8.04,10.04,11.04, and 11.10. Also been working
just fine with Windows XP and and my Nexus One, and another Windows 7
laptop also connects to this network without issue.
During 11.04 and 11.10 network manager would not connect, but I was able
to connect by removing network manager and editing
/etc/network/interfaces manually adding the following information:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
wireless-essid myssid
wireless-key restricted ABCDEF1234567890ABCDEF0123
wireless-mode Managed
wireless-channel 3
Now, as of 12.04 I cannot connect to the network at all. It doesn't matter if I
use network manager, wicd, or remove these tools and edit my interfaces
directly as shown. I am no longer able to connect to my wireless network. What
used to work very well for over 4 years, now fails to work at all. This is a
clean installation of 12.04 with the networking configured the same way it
always has been for the last 4 years when it worked. It does not work now.
