Should the nl80211 interface be patched out of the kernel? Or patcheed to report encryption capabilities? This interface doesn't even report that wep is supported and thats plain wrong. I agree with you that this patch isn't the best way to solve this. I just asked myself: if I can call the nl80211 util function and it returns NULL if that's not implemented, shouldn't it be possible to do the same with the wext function? But I didn't check thoroughly. I think ubuntu schould just work out of the box. Many just aren't interested why. There are some threads around the internet where this problem is solved simply by not using network-manager. wicd is used instead because it just works. WPA is "officialy" supported by intel on windows und it obviously works on linux/ubuntu if network-manager isn't used so I have no doubt that WPA is supported on linux.
