here's a hack that worked for me with ath5k driver on LinuxMint kernel 2.6.31-14-generic. It's only for those who'd connect to an unencrypted network.
In my case, my AP was associating only to be immediately disassociated again. Since wpa_supplicant seemed to be getting in the way, I disabled it. CODE: cp /etc/dbus-1/system.d/wpa_supplicant.conf /home/myname/backup/etc.dbus-1.system.d.wpa_supplicant.conf sudo rm /etc/dbus-1/system.d/wpa_supplicant.conf -- Atheros AR5211 unable to connect to WPA-Personal AP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/463581 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
