Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: wpasupplicant
Upgrading Ubuntu hardy 8.04 to Ubuntu 8.10 beta lost wireless
connectivity on a Toshiba Satellite A215-S5818 laptop. The problem
appears to be in wpasupplicant, based on the following tests:
* wireless works on the same hardware from Windows Vista both before and after
* wireless worked under hardy, as that is how I ran "upgrade-manager -d" to do
the intrepid upgrade in place
* the problem happens with both the 2.6.27-6 intrepid kernel and the 2.6.24-21
hardy kernel
* sudo iwlist scan under intrepid shows 14 various neighborhood access points,
including mine
I am using still using ndiswrapper due to lack of direct kernel support for the
particular atheros chip in this laptop.
My Linksys router is configured with SSID broadcast off, WPA2-PSK required.
This Ubuntu install happens to under WUBI, but I doubt that has any relevance.
I'm running Gnome, though the kde desktop metapackage is also installed.
I haven't tried downgrading wpasupplicant yet.
The wpasupplicant version reported from "apt-cache policy" is 0.6.4-2
I'm attaching output excepted from:
* ip addr show
* sudo iwlist scan
* sudo lshw -C network
* lsmod
* the "start_wireless.bash" script I was using successfully under Ubuntu 8.04
* my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file (the key is obfuscated)
* an excerpt from what shows up in /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log
** Affects: wpasupplicant (Ubuntu)
