Bug Description
My Atheros 5212 on my IBM Z60m no longer functions after upgrading from Intrepid Ibex to Jaunty.
It functioned in the last two previous versions of Ubuntu just fine; however, no matter what I do (using MadWifi drivers, enabling the restricted driver, disabling the restricted driver, etc.) it will not function correctly.
This is what it does:
- It will find networks (WiFi),
- However, it will *sometimes* connect to the networks briefly (WPA, WEP, no security at all),
- But then it will immediately disconnect after connecting.
I do not understand why it is doing this, but I do know this issue did not exist at all during Intrepid or Hardy.
I have tried everything (above) to get it to work, however nothing worked.
This was the same for both of the following scenarios:
- Upgrade from Intrepid; and
- Clean install of Jaunty on said machine.
No matter what the WiFi connection does not function as intended (or as it did before the installation OR upgrade of Jaunty).
Same card, same problem.
Connection is up but data only transferred 1% of the time.
