Bug Description
I tried to use my old Lucent Wavelan Silver (Orinoco) card today and I cannot get it to associate with a network. Here is the system log file:

This repeats a number of times until it gives up.
Here is data from iwlist:
frohro@
eth3 Scan completed :
Cell 01 - Address: 00:11:22:33:44:57
Cell 02 - Address: 00:0C:E5:54:27:BB
and from iwconfig:

Power Management:off
Link Quality=0/70 Signal level=-122 dBm Noise level=-122 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:1

This is a regression somewhere between kernel 2.6.31-21-generic and
frohro@
2.6.35-23-generic
I will see if I can further narrow it down.
Thanks for the help!

Well, I need to explain a little more. The note above about this being a regression between kernel 2.6.31-21-generic and
2.6.35-23-generic was tested with an earlier version of Ubuntu (9.10) and this one (10.10). I tried to boot into the real time kernel from Ubuntu 10.10, which is:
frohro@ frohro- D610:~$ uname -r
2.6.31-11-rt
and the issue is still there, so likely this is not a kernel issue, maybe wpa_supplicant, or something else that changed between Karmic and Maverick.
