I was able to get T30 working with WPA2 after upgrading firmware and blacklisting orinoco drivers. Here is what I did:
I used following site to find the the firmware on Prism 2.5: http://linux.junsun.net/intersil-prism/ Then in windows, I upgraded the firmware to 1.8.2. I tried to upgrade in linux but was giving some issues. Disabled orinoco drivers since they don't support WPA and also interfere with hostap drivers by adding following to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.cfg blacklist prism2_pci blacklist orinoco blacklist orinoco_pci Rebooted the system. On the router, I enabled broadcast SSID. I noticed that if SSID is not broadcasted, then NetworkManager does not display the signal strength. Connected to wireless and NetworkManager detected the correct security/encryption and asked for the password/key. -- Network manager forgets WPA Personal hidden network https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/318286 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
