I still have Gutsy 7.10, and am having this problem. * Compaq r4010us laptop * Broadcom 4306 * Using ndiswrapper with 'wext' in the command line * Linksys WRT54GS v1.0 Firmware v4.50.6 * Attempting WPA(1)-PSK with static IP * 'network-manager' and 'gnome-network-manager' uninstalled, as they were fouling up my manual IP settings; erasing them.
I can connect fine with encryption disabled. Enabled, I have had successful connections twice, but it's not easy to get them and I have yet to nail down the procedure to get it, as the nature of this bug makes landing on the right sequence of steps difficult. The two times I did connect with WPA, I decided to 'play around a bit' and see exactly what the key to it was, and I permanently lost the connection until the next boot, but mind you that it will not connect at boot even though I'm using the rc.local script. I still have to play around with it to connect. So, apparently, once it goes down, only a reboot and more fiddling solves it. I have tried the following 'resets', to no avail: * /etc/init.d/networking restart * /etc/init.d/dbus restart I have tried ap_scan set to 0, 1 and 2. I have invoked wpa_supplicant in two combinations: 1) -Bw without -d or -dd 2) -w with -dd I will be playing with it more this week as I have time (and hair to pull), and I'll report what I find. -- [ndiswrapper] wpa_supplicant fails after upgrade to Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207446 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
