rt2500 pci card worked fine under Edgy. Upgraded via alt CD and no network. Numerous attempts at getting network manager to sort it out failed. I uninstalled network manager and it still will not connect via the Gnome network GUI. Note that this is with WEP encryption.
I _am_ able to connect via the command line: sudo ifconfig ra0 down sudo iwconfig ra0 essid blahblahblah key hexblahblah sudo dhclient ra0 I found this at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux- source-2.6.20/+bug/37120 Syntax to manually configure in /etc/network/interfaces iface ra0 inet dhcp pre-up ifconfig ra0 up pre-up ifconfig ra0 down pre-up ifconfig ra0 up pre-up ifconfig ra0 down pre-up iwconfig ra0 essid "MyRouterName" pre-up iwconfig ra0 mode Managed pre-up iwpriv ra0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK pre-up iwpriv ra0 set EncrypType=TKIP pre-up iwpriv ra0 set WPAPSK="MySecretPassword pre-up ifconfig ra0 up auto ra0 Since I am only using WEP, modified to: iface ra0 inet dhcp pre-up ifconfig ra0 up pre-up ifconfig ra0 down pre-up ifconfig ra0 up pre-up ifconfig ra0 down pre-up iwconfig ra0 essid "MyRouterName" pre-up iwconfig ra0 key "MyKeyInHex" pre-up iwconfig ra0 mode Managed pre-up ifconfig ra0 up auto ra0 Now I have wireless connectivity which survives a reboot.
