[gutsy] rtl8185L WPA not working but WEP works

[Shawn vega]

Binary package hint: network-manager

Problem: when i click on a WPA encrypted network it prompts me to enter a password but only offers WEP and LEAP. I'm using Gutsy 7.10 i386 and a RTL 8185L wireless card.

The same thing happens to me. WEP works fine in gutsy but not WPA. It used to work for me in Feisty. I have an ipw3945 card.

so does that mean that WAP will work by default with RTL 8185L on hardy?

[Shawn vega (svega85-gmail)]

ok i just tested it on hardy alpha 1 and it behaves with the same problem.

[Shawn vega (svega85-gmail)]

on the new hardy alpha 4 my wireless card is not detected at all and have filed a new bug. bug # 176507

ok on hardy beta using ndiswrapper WPA and WEP work so if someone else can confirm this I think it's fixed.
