I used alternatively 'wl' and 'ndiswrapper'. I can connect to & use open networks in both cases.
For WPA networks, however, there are problems in both cases: -- With 'wl', the connection to a WPA network can be made but is not usable because it breaks quickly. This is described by https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293869. Because of an other (crash) bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296578), I blacklisted 'wl' and replaced it by 'ndiswrapper'. -- With 'ndiswrapper', I have the problem described here: network- manager tries to connect, asks me for the password, tries to connect, asks me for the password again... No more success with wicd. As you can see, no way to use WPA networks because of two different (?) bugs. I don't know if there is a link between them, if they share the same (or similar) causes so... I talked about both and let you decide. -- [iwl*] NetworkManager/wicd fail to authenticate to WPA Enterprise networks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263963 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
