I am running Hardy and I was able to connect to the WPA-Enterprise and normal WPA networks without any problems until some time in August'08. I completely reinstalled xubuntu 8.04.1 but still can't connect to any WPA encrypted network. I tried Intrepid Alpha5 from a USB stick and got it working but only for a few minutes. Looking at all the other related bug reports I am a bit disappointed that basic stuff such as networking is still such a challenge for this distribution. Anyway, here is some data:
