I have the same problem, with the same chip. I noticed that once i have booted up, iwconfig displays:
eth1 unassociated ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Channel=0 Access Point: Not-Associated Bit Rate:0 kb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm Sensitivity=8/0 Retry limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 When I do a /etc/init.d/networking restart, iwconfig display the proper settings of : eth1 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"**MYSSID**" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: 00:13:46:ED:42:76 Bit Rate:36 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm Sensitivity=8/0 Retry limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off Link Quality=75/100 Signal level=-54 dBm Noise level=-91 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:1 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:2 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 Afterwards evrething is OK. The process stated above by Quidam also works. -- Retyping network password needed after rebooting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/155805 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
