Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-nettool

My computer is a Lenovo S10e with the special Ubuntu 9.04 for netbooks.
It has a Broadcom WiFi device with an Ubuntu driver (Broadcom STA) but it won't log in though the WiFi is recognized.
Obviously there is a problem with the WPA.
There is just ONE and not recommendable solution: when trying to log in I have to connect the computer with an ethernet cable. Then during I have a ethernet connect the WiFi starts to accept the password and I can disconnect from ethernet, surfing the WiFi.
However, this is not working properly because each new login either needs several minutes or the connection again fails.

According to my observations there is a problem with the acceptance of the password. Either it is not submitted or the router has problems with WPA.

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 Karmic 9.10 release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are
available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

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

apport-collect -p linux 398373

Thanks in advance
