All,

I read the duplicate bug #532451 and this bug #537814. My comments seem related, but these reports are for older kernels/Ubuntu releases and I saw here that someone reported an issue running an NVIDIA driver that seemed to interact with the wireless issue being reported.

Here is my addition:

I am running Ubuntu 10.10 beta. I have just logged a bug report #655078 which has just been confirmed regarding issues with the NVIDIA driver for my system. I have provided a complete "apport-collect" report under my bug report and have described my system hardware there. I also have issues with the Intel (R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 AGN (thus my report here).

What I have determined in Ubuntu 10.10 beta is that the driver is being loaded, I can communicate with an unencrypted WIFI but I cannot get an encrypted connection working. I see that the firmware has been included in the installation in /lib/firmware (although the execute file permission is set - not good). However, I get an error message during boot-up that says no suitable firmware is found to install.

As I have said, I have provided a complete "apport-collect" report under bug #655078. Maybe someone can see why my system is not loading the firmware module that I believe is correct for my system and maybe it will help others.

Thanks,
Mike
