I confirme this. I run hardy alpha3. It works well on gutsy.
I have the same intel abg wireless card. I can connect to my wpa protected AP. But I can't connect to an unsecured AP with hidden ssid.
I'll try with a RaLink based usb dongle soon, in order to know if this is a trouble with ipw3935 driver or an other thing.

Using network manager, it stay in "connecting" state for a while. So I just tried it using only iwconfig, and I can see this intersting result in /var/log/syslog :

I tried with linux 2.6.24-4 (from hardy) on gutsy, and it works directly with network-manager. The driver has changed : now it is ipl3945.

I don't know if it could help, but on gutsy, the interface was wlan0_rename (wheras I haven't any wlan0), and it was wlan0 on hardy.

There is an other thing that is probably an other bug : the card wasn't detected anymore by Network-manager. After remove and probe iwl3945, the card appears as wlan1_rename, the network-manager doesn't detect it.

Same problem here. No problem on 2.6.24-4, big problem on later kernels. However I cannot connect to my WPA network with SSID not hidden.

Similar behavior here with current hardy. iwl3945 works with encrypted networks (WPA and WEP) but not with unencrypted (which we have at work with an VPN).

Solution for several of our Laptops was the newest version of the iwl3945 module. Furthermore, wifi is lot more stable with this one.

Similar wlan card problem here, with a Dell D520 notebook. Hardy beta, kernel 2.6.24-16-generic

A quick workaround: disable the iwl3945 kernel module in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, install ndiswrapper with Intel Windows XP driver (netw4x32).

Ndiswrapper setup is here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper

Hi, it seems I've reported (about) the same bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/223111 : I can't connect to a WEP AccessPoint with my Centrino, and/but I can connect to a WPA2 AccessPoint.

My work around so far: boot the older kernel 2.6.22-14-generic. Then everything works again with 8.04

Hi I am having the same issue my wireless can't connect to my Netgear AP at home. 128k Wep to my friends Linksys works fine and my companies unencrypted Guest access works fine

I've tried both WPA (TKIP) and Wep on the netgear, I'll confirm if WPA2 works when I get home tonight.

I am really not sure about the solution here, I'll try the older kernal idea too.

From what I've read on this and similar issues it's not a problem about the encryption, since the success depends only on the AP used.

I myself have the same problem on my university network (unsecured, no WEP, no WPA) and it was always working correctly at home (WPA on a Linksys WRT54g).

Booting the old 7.10 kernel (2.6.22-14) made everything work, but there the ipw3945 driver was used, so that's probably not very useful.

Compiling the latest compat-wireless tar ball (2008-06-03) fixed the problem. An earlier version (2008-04-29) did not fix it. This driver reports as version 1.2.26k.

Can some of the kernel maintainers comment on this please? It seems to affect quite some people and in my opinion would definitely warant a fix before the next Ubuntu release (especially considering that this is a regression, as it worked in 7.10).

I guess this bug is for iwl4965 too. I use this driver, and it works sometimes for normal surfing, but copy of files via scp makes it go down.

On Dell Vostro 1510, installed Wubi Ubuntu Linux Desktop 8.04 and updated to the latest fixes. The latest fixes allowed the wireless LED to light up.

However, I am unable to connect to my Linksys WEP AP. I have tried the usual troubleshooting steps of manually setting up the setting using iwconfig + ifconfig, including removing ipv6 support but to no avail. I am not able to ping the gateway nor am I able to get an IP address via DHCP.

I suspect the same root cause is the issue. I have yet been able to test on a WPA AP.

Would appreciate if there is any known timeline for the fix. Thanks!

Hi Michael.

Just mentioning I had the same issues connecting to a WEP netgear.

I resolved the issue by installing the linux-backports module which
includes a newer version of the wireless driver.

sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-hardy-generic

Hope it helps

Jason,

Thanks for this workaround: I can now connect to my WEP AP.

FYI: I installed Ubuntu 8.04.1 which only has the faulty software, so you
can not choose the older kernel anymore to connect to a WEP AO. Quite a
serious Ubuntu bug IMHO.

Thanks very much Jason!

Your suggestion of using the backports modules solved the issue. Strangely it works fine for me without a reboot -- I just have too many windows opened and I try not to shutdown my laptop; only suspend :)

Hi
I installed Kubuntu Intrepid some days ago and everything worked fine for some time, but today after booting, my wireless stopped working.
I can't connect to any AP, neither WEP, nor w/o encryption.
dmesg repeats
'wlan0: privacy configuration mismatch and mixed-cell disabled - disassociate'
all over...
Usually I use knetworkmanager to connect, but I also tried with iwconfig and via editing /etc/network/interfaces, but both didn't change anything at all.
I can scan for the APs and loading the module gives no error.
Any ideas how to solve this monster? Preferably without the need for a working internetconnection ;)

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

Same issue here with latest updates (kernel 2.6.26-5 and 2.6.27-2). Both kernels fail to get me connected on Intel 4965. My old PCMCIA card works fine though...

Knetwork manager seems lost too and I had to use the good old CLI. Maybe related?

I have this same problem, with a Linksys WAG 354 G, and an "Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)".

I worked around it by changing the speed of the Wireless LAN on the Linksys (Wireless, Advanced Wireless settings) from Auto to 24Mb.

Hope this helps people find out what the problem with the driver is.
