[Bug 496093] Re: [lucid] rt2860 frequently fails to connect to mixed mode WPA/WPA2 secured wireless networks

[Thomas Ulich]

Hi,
I am running Mythbuntu 10.04 64bit. Wireless does not connect with 2.6.32-21, neither with 2.6.32-22. Then I downloaded the kernel given in comment #173 above (2.6.33-02063303_amd64), and I am running into the same problems as before, so .33 does NOT fix it for me.

Connecting with cable is just fine, wireless no luck.  My wireless is
on-board (lspci):

03:05.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2915ABG
[Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05)

and uses the ipw2200 driver.

I can see the SSID and according to syslog the connection is
established, but then DHCP times out. Here are the most relevant lines
from syslog:

May  9 13:07:36 myth wpa_supplicant[973]: Trying to associate with 00:24:fe:4b:29:91 (SSID='SATnet' freq=2457 MHz)

It's the same for all three kernels tested.

Now, while I have lots of *nix experience, this is mostly with
commercial releases and very little with Linux, and I am new to Ubuntu.
So my apologies if this comment is not appropriate here...

Oh, one more, I did try a 9.10 32bit release a few weeks ago, and that
did work straight out of the box.

Do you think I should report an extra bug for this?

A big THANK YOU for all you who are working so hard to get things going!

Thomas
