Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-ubuntu-
Problem: After updating from gutsy to hardy I cannot connect to a Netgear MR814v2 wireless router. Doesn't matter if the encryption is on/off or the ssid is visible/invisible. However I can always see the access point in the NetworkManager applet.
It seems that the change from ipw3945 to the new iwl3945 module causes this failure.
Solution: After compiling and using the newest iwl3945 kernel module (vers. 1.2.26k) by myself I can again connect to this access point without any problem. So I strongly recommend that the included iwl3945 kernel module get updated from vers. 1.2.0 to 1.2.26k
Please tell me if you need additional informations.
