Comment 9 for bug 157884

I tried to do the test on my current environment (Hardy - but with kernel from previous version, because kernel from Hardy is not usable - see bug #12637).
I have now WAP Personal netowork, with MAC filtering, and with enabled SSID bradcasting. Ubuntu connects to it almost immediately after booting up.
So I disabled SSID braodcasting for testing. Network Manager did the same as previously - got lost for about 10 minutes. During this time it asked me about 4 times for the password. I typed the passwork each time, waiting, waiting, waiting, again prompt for password, waiting...... and after about 10 minutes finally it connects.
So it is still far from normal "usable" quality.
However, second laptop (Lenovo, with WinXP) was not able to connect at all to that network, so I was forced to enable SSID back. So at least it is better than Windows...
