I am having the same issue as brandon atkinson, it seems, because "iwpriv ath0 mode 3" worked for me as well after 4 days of wireless outage. The bug was *fixed* at some point in the recent past, because I've been using hardy for about one month, and my wireless driver has worked the entire time. Then an update to, I think, NM caused it to stop working again, and no kernel upgrades or messing around have fixed it. My stack:
- madwifi (current nightly snapshot) - hardy heron, up-to-date as of 2008-03-10. - currently running Linux 2.6.24-12-generic And this, in rc.local: modprobe ath_pci iwpriv ath0 bgscan 0 This config worked fine for me on G networks both WPA and unencrypted. Around, approximately, Thursday 2008-03-06 an update went into hardy that broke the wireless for me. No connection to either WPA or unencrypted networks with madwifi. For a while I switched to ndiswrapper'd drivers, which worked, but ONLY on unencrypted networks. No WPA. Finally today I found this bug, and brandon's post above, turned off ndiswrapper, and tried iwpriv ath0 mode 3. Bingo, everything works again in WPA. So I believe there is a real bug here; it seems to be kernel-independent (it is definitely OS-independent, as I can boot to Leopard and use the wireless network). It may affect ndiswrapper and madwifi, or only madwifi (if ndiswrapper's wpa problems were r/t something else). What I expected to happen: connect to my 802.11g (WPA) network as usual, with the above stack and rc.local. What actually happened: I have to add iwpriv ath0 mode 3 to connect to any 802.11g network with madwifi. -- A bug between Atheros Communications AR5212 802.11abg nic and Ubuntus network applet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/111068 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
