Normally, I prefer to do a clean install of a release. This time, I upgraded from Karmic to Lucid. Since I could not connect with the Asus EEE 1000, I downloaded the Ricardo Salvetri's patched kernel with mhy Macbook then installed it on the Asus from a USB key. I was then able to connect to the Internet.
Meantime, I burnt the ISO to SD, intending to do a clean install. (...and *copied* the patched kernel to the root directory of the memory stick, so I could have everything 'at hand' after the install). During this time, I removed some packages on the Asus, and may have broken something, since I am back to the same problem: Network applet asking for the WPA /WPA2 password over and over. I ever *re-installed* Ricardo's kernel, to no avail. Warm boots, or cold boots, not difference... I confess that I do most of my installation and configuration using the GUI tools. Writing this on my Macbook, I turned off the Asus for a few minutes. I just booted it up, and I'm again connected (so maybe the netbook is just being 'tempermental'! :-) I'm about to finish this post, and once again, the dialog is popping up. ... maybe it's also related to ADSL line quality ... though I don't get the faintest hiccup on my connections with the Airport card on my Mac... -- [lucid] rt2860 frequently fails to connect to mixed mode WPA/WPA2 secured wireless networks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/496093 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
