After upgrading Hardy beta 5 to Hardy beta 6 connectivity to hidden SSIDs with ipw2200/2915 and atheros based cards (AR5212 chip) don't work any more.
Done some further testing, and found the patched/changed network manager 0.6.6-0ubuntu1 was installed. After experiencing the problem on a couple of different access points types with hidden SSIDs, I reinstalled Hardy beta 6 from scratch just to verify that the problem wasn't caused from the upgrades from beta 4 -> 5 -> 6. Downgrading the network-manager to 0.6.5 from Hardy beta 5 solved the problem. After a trying a new upgrade to NM 0.6.6 the problem was (of course) back again. This time I then removed these tree packages (sequenced) : 1) network-manager-kde_0.2ubuntu1-0ubuntu12_i386.deb 2) network-manager_0.6.6-0ubuntu1_i386.deb 3) libnl1_1.1-1_i386.deb and then installed thees tre Hardy beta 5 packages instead : 1) libnl1-pre6_1.0~pre6-6_i386.deb 2) network-manager_0.6.5-0ubuntu16.7.10.0_i386.deb 3) network-manager-kde_0.2ubuntu1-0ubuntu7_i386.deb Now both ipw2200/2915 based adapters as well as the atheros based were working again btw. didn't need to change the package - libnm-util0_0.6.6-0ubuntu1_i386.deb. The changes between the NM 0.6.5-0ubuntu16 and the 0.6.6-0ubuntu1 seems to have made all the these adapters unusable when connecting to hidden SSIDs. And I can't help wondering if the main resaon maby is this, found in the changelog for network -manager: >network-manager (0.6.6~rc2-0ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low > .....<truncated>..... > * try to drop hidden AP tweaks (lets hope that scan_capa patch in 2.6.24 > fixes this) > - drop debian/patches/42a_lp50214_gnome464215_fix_hidden.patch > - update debian/patches/series > .....<truncated>..... > > -- Alexander Sack <e-mail hidden> Wed, 05 Mar 2008 19:06:19 +0100 -- can't connect to hidden network https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/50214 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
