I upgraded to 12.10 and then moved to the kernel PPA, as suggested in http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/os-applications/f/4613/p/19467541/20251000.aspx#20251000, but this didn't seem to help. What I'm seeing now is a connection starting up, and the password request box coming up (/var/log/syslog shows wpa-supplicant activity, as expected), but when I put in the password, it always fails. It seems that there's a brief connection - enough to get the wpa-supplicant process running - but that it then dies before wpa-supplicant can complete.
The password is already set for the AP, though, so it's unclear to me why it's asking for it in the first place. Other devices are connecting just fine.
