[caspar_wrede]

Release: 9.04. This is a regression from Ubuntu 8.10.

Hardware: Thinkpad X31

wrede@erik:~$ lspci | grep Atheros
02:02.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5211 802.11ab NIC (rev 01)

The same machine connects to the wirless network using a wireless USB dongle.

Actually in Ubuntu 9.04 and Ubuntu 9.10 Alpha I am only able to connect in Access Points unsecured (if it requires a WPA or WEP, it is not possible).

Hi caspar_wrede,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 355062

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
