plugged in wrt54gl AP running a recent version of Tomato (my usual AP is a Netgear WNR3500L running stock firmware).
booted 2.6.39-020639rc6.201105050227 went through the procedure: 1. Disable networking in the notification area 2. Run 'sudo ifconfig wlan0 up' 3. Run 'sudo iw dev wlan0 scan' 4. Run 'sudo iw dev wlan0 connect -w <SSID>', using the SSID of the open AP 5. Run 'sudo iw dev wlan0 disconnect' to disconnect if #4 was successful. (I repeated step 3 until it showed something.) In this run step 4 worked (the laptop connected to the open AP) on the first attempt. ** Attachment added: "logs for 2.6.39-020639rc6.201105050227 network success" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/767192/+attachment/2119208/+files/20110507_2255_logset.tar.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/767192 Title: Wireless flaky on Acer Aspire 5100 after installing Natty -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
