[Bug 21569] Re: prism2_usb: requires wlanctl-ng commands in order to work properly

[Andrew Zajac]

"Do you use the same keywords as I do in your /etc/network/interfaces? "

No.  I use what is created by the networking tool.

"The configuration syntax for a linux-wlan-ng device (like prism2_usb) 
is different from a normal wireless-tools device (like your atmel). The 
Gnome tools only supports the latter. This is especially true for the 
WEP setup. If the prism2_usb could be fixed to accept the IOCTLs used by 
libiw28, everything would be simpler."

Perhaps I misunderstood the early responses to this bug, but I was under the assumption that this device is supposed to work out-of-the-box if linux-wlan-ng is installed and that my device was behaving differently than other prism2_usb devices in that respect.  

I know that linux-wlan-ng uses different tools than the other wireless devices, but the debian scripts are supposed to wrap around the linux-wlan-ng commands and make the process the same.

So, has anyone plugged in a prism2_usb device and have it work out-of-the-box in ubuntu?
