Comment 43 for bug 496093

Can confirm this bug again for 32bit eeepc 901, Lucid current as of today (kernel 2.6.32-17-generic i686, network-manager 0.8.0ubuntu2, rt2860sta.ko 1.8.1.1) with router working in WPA/WPA2 mode.

Oddly on the first few boots into a fresh install everything worked fine. Then endless rounds of scanning -> disconnected -> scanning -> associated -> disconnected ->scanning (...) and "Association request to the driver failed" from NetworkManager.

Note: I've always had trouble with Ubuntu and this wireless module. Last working version for me was v1.7.1.1 from array.org back in the jaunty era. But prior to that, using array.org kernels and other hackwork, all has been fine. Will try WPA2-only.
