Comment 54 for bug 540070

My company uses Cisco 802.11n and my Lenovo W500 laptop has an Intel WiFi Link 5300. Our auth method is WPA2, PEAP with TKIP/MSCHAPV2 My laptop is running Ubuntu 10.04. I was able to force downgrade my WiCd adding the PPA using http://apt.wicd.net karmic all. Then use synaptic to force the version of the wicd package and lock it. Now I am able to get past the "bad password". Solved, NO, I now get "Unable to obtain an IP" This leaves me with no working connection at all. So back to network-manager I go, but using it in the same work WiFi setup I am subject to bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/630748
