Bug Description
Problems are with a Intel BG2200 wifi cards in 12.04b2.
Looks like the drivers are in ipw2200, which apparently comes with the kernel.
After installing 12.04b2 at least two people lost the ability to connect to WPA or WPA2 routers. In the network panel, the other networks still appear but are in a dark gray/grayed out. Only WEP routers appear to be options.
Other report:

After upgrades from 11.04, I was using the wifi card successfully for some hours, but then noticed in the network panel that it didn't know what network I was on. I made the mistake of disconnecting, and was not able to reconnect.
I believe the BG2200 is a rather old card but was popular for a long time. There's probably a not insignificant usage base.
