Bug Description
I had the driver working fine (not great, but usable) on dapper. I used NetworkManager to connect to my unencrypted AP. Today I upgraded to edgy and it stopped working. I choose my AP from NetworkManager and it tries to connect for about a minute, and then stops without getting connected. I expected the driver's situation to improve with the newer kernel, but it seems like this is a regression.

Thank you for your bug report.
Could you please check if the package linux-restricte d-modules is installed?
Did you try to connect the network via console? If so, please attatch the console output.
Thanks Peter
