Bug Description
I have an AMD Semperon PC with a Belkin F5D7000 PCI Wireless card and a Linksys router. Encryption is disabled but access is restricted to selected MAC addresses. The WiFi connection seemed to be working OK with 6.06 without any special configuration - everything just worked.
I attempted a clean install of release candidate 7.10. Everything seemed OK but start-up showed a modprobe error inserting ...mac80211/
The network icon in the top right showed the connection had failed. The drop-down showed that my SSID had been detected but attempting to connect manually failed - it seemed to wait forever.
The Gnome Network settings application showed the wireless card in roaming mode. Attempting to set the SSID from there killed my machine - the screen went blank and it wouldn't even respond to the on/off switch. The only way I could get it back was by turning off at the wall.
