[Bug 339891] Re: [Jaunty] wireless rt2860 not connecting to WPA

[Kevin Snow]

I also ran into this problem when I moved from 8.04 to 10.04.  I have an
ASUS Eee PC 1000 that I tested with the final lucid live CD.  When I
first booted up and tried to connect to my router, it connect right
away, but after just a few minutes it disconnected.  When it tried to
reconnect, it reported that the security phrase was wrong.  I was able
to get it to connect by turning the wifi card off using eee-control,
turning the networking off, then turning the wifi card back on and
restarting networking.  It didn't always work, but it would usually
connect after 3 or 4 rounds of this activity.

After reviewing the notes in 344022, I made a change to the security
settings on my router to use WPA2-PSK (AES encryption) for
authentication rather than WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK (TKIP + AES encryption)
and that appears to have resolved the issue for me.  I realize that it's
not a good solution for others who can't make changes to router
settings.  It's strange that the mixed cypher worked in previous
revisions of the driver, but not in newer ones.
