As outlined in the second half of [url=http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=369713]this thread[/url], I am experiencing what I believe to be the same problem. My university network uses WPA with LDAP user authentication, so it took quite some configuring of /etc/network/interfaces in Gutsy to get my Realtek 8185 (ndiswrapper) to work. Upon upgrading to Feisty, it broke completely. Issuing "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" (or probably "ifup wlan0") completely freezes the system. Nothing changes except for the CAPS and SCROLL keys blinking.

Two things can fix the freeze-up, but the computer still won't connect. (1)Using 2.6.20 instead of 2.6.20 - I have nvidia problems, but it doesn't freeze. (2)Changing "wpa-driver wext" to "wpa-driver wpa-supplicant." These remove the "WEXT auth [...]: Operation not supported" errors, but the "ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Operation not supported" ones remain. The system still does not connect. I can't find a project for "ioctl" or "wext", so I'm reassigning this to wpa-supplicant. -- wpa not working, network manager locks computer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108558 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
