Ubuntu 10.4 fails to connect to linksys range expander WRE54 3.0

[Eduardo Fracassi]

Hi,

I installed ubuntu on my sister's machines runnng a wireless lan based on linksys WRTG54 and a linksys WRE54 range expander version 3.0.

In windows xp we are able to connect to the range expander receiving a 100% quality signal.

But when trying to connect to the range expander with ubuntu 10.4 , after specifying the range expander's MAC, ubuntu tries to connect to the range expander but fails and after some minutes creates a connection and connects to the router at 192.168.1.1.

BUG: Ubuntu 10.4 fails to connect to the range expander (100 % signal at that range). Ubuntu will only connect to the router (35-40 % signal at that range).

best,
Eduardo
