OK, this is bizarre. Either I've had a complete moment of stupidity or there is something not quite intuitive about the Wireless network management.
I've been trying to connect this via System > Administration > Network and it's not worked, I've reconfigured the AP as well as spent time at the CLI scratching my head. Today, (without any updates) I used the network connection system tray icon, and notice that it shows the AP's and so I went through the configuration via this applet (not thinking it would make any difference). After putting in the WEP key, it asks for a password for the default keyring, something it has never prompted for via System > Administration > Network Once I gave it a password it connected and it is working - albeit with a 67% strength at a distance of 1 meter (the Netgear WGR514 v6 router/wireless is on the floor, the laptop is directly above it - I use it on wireless purely because of a lack of ethernet ports) Whether this is me or the distribution I do not know. It was a fully functioning Edgy that went through a gksu “update-manager -c -d” to upgrade to Feisty. -- Netgear WG511T stopped working https://launchpad.net/bugs/93420 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
