Bug Description

Binary package hint: wpasupplicant

MY university deployed 802.11n wireless LAN. However, my new T420
cannot connect to the network under ubuntu 11.04. I found the driver
for realtek 8188CE is rtl8192ce.ko, rtlwifi. I asked network
administrator to help me. They told me my wireless adapter didn't work
well with the 802.11n network. Is this because of the driver? The
following are the wpa_supplicant output. FYI
Ubuntu 2.6.38-8.42-generic 2.6.38.2

I've tested the kernel provided by the driver maintainer at

git clone --depth 1000 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-testing.git

which fixes the error that rtlwifi doesn't work with HT_40. But the wpa_supplicant still fails to establish the connection to AP.

The output is similar as the old kernel.
