Comment 2 for bug 1046912

Over the weekend I realized that in upgrading from 11.04 (my old xps m1330) to 12.04 (new xps13) network-manager converted all my connectiosn to "Open System" from "Shared Key". Or at least that's what it looks like. I manually switched them to Shared Key and now the xps13 is reliably connecting to all the APs I'd had trouble with before.

This doesn't explain why I was seeing intermittent failures with "Open System" and I haven't had time to play around to confirm this is actually the solution. To be honest, one of the reasons I bought this machine was because I thought Dell had the drivers working well enough to not have to deal with this stuff...

In the mean time, I've appended a dmesg dump I saved when I was debugging, but don't have the full /var/log dir available right now. I'll try to replicated the problem when I have time.

By the way, the dmesg dump above also shows the "lost sync" driver errors being generated by the trackpad.
