Comment 67 for bug 518196

@Chase,
I switched my Apple Airport Base station extreme from WPA/WPA2 Personal
to WPA2 Personal and booted from Windows Vista into Ubuntu Karmic.
After unplugging the eth0 cable, the wlan0 connection is working. If
memory serves, this would work for a little while and then go bad. So
far however, this seems to be working! So to summarize, if we set the
router to the highest level of security, the driver can connect. It's
only in WPA "fallback mode" that the problem manifests.

see what happens...
