Comment 4 for bug 98612

When I click on the network it tries to connect and after a while it says
that it failed to connect to the network. I have tried with 3 different
networks, the one at school, it has a hidden essid and mac address filtering
but no other security. One at home that has a hidden essid, mac address
filtering, and wep. Another one at home that I set up to test with an old
router with no security. It fails to connect every time.

It fails at boot, when I use the network manager, wlassistant, or if I use
ifdown and ifup in the terminal.

Thanks for the assistance, but unfortunately it doesn't want to respond to
an easy fix.
