System: Intel Pentium II, 192mb RAM, Ubuntu Feisty w/latest updates
I have a USB wireless card branded as "Canyon CN-WF518 Wireless Network Interface USB 2.0 Adapter IEEE 802.11b/802.11g". When plugged in, Feisty correctly recognises the card and loads the zd1211rw module and NetworkManager can correctly scan wireless networks, but when I try to connect to my home network using WPA/WPA2-PSK, the connection can never establish correctly.
By accident I discovered that if I modprobe zd1211rw-mac80211, then NetworkManager will correctly connect to the WPA network. Can you please fix future versions of the kernel to modprobe zd1211rw-mac80211 for my USB card to? I'm attaching some relevant logs in an archive (before and after I modprobe zd1211rw-mac80211), but this may be all the information you need:

EDIT: I previously thought that the zd1211rw-mac80211 module solved my problem, but I was incorrect.
System: Intel Pentium II, 192mb RAM, Ubuntu Feisty w/latest updates
I have a USB wireless card branded as "Canyon CN-WF518 Wireless Network Interface USB 2.0 Adapter IEEE 802.11b/802.11g", using zd1211rw driver. When plugged in, Feisty correctly recognises the card and loads the zd1211rw module successfully. NetworkManager can correctly scan wireless networks, but when I try to connect to my home network using WPA/WPA2-PSK, the connection can never establish correctly the first time. I have installed libpam-keyring and added "@include common-pamkeyring" to /etc/pam.d/gdm.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Boot computer with USB wireless card connected
2. Log in to GNOME
3. Wait for NetworkManager to establish connection to wireless network (preconfigured previously).
4. After waiting for network to connect (the two spheres remain grey), NetworkManager gives up and disconnects.
5. Click on the NetworkManager applet, then click on my wireless network (43OGR)
6. The spheres will turn green and the connection will establish correctly.
This behaviour occurs at every boot, and the network will always connect successfully on the second (manual) attempt. Below is my kernel version and lsusb output, and I attached system logs. However, I am not sure what logs are useful to troubleshoot this issue, so please let me know what you need.

Are you having any luck w/ 8.10 beta on this affected hardware? |
