Public bug reported:
Tried the 9.04 amd-64 live cd on my 64-bit Acer Aspire 5100 laptop, and
was able to establish a wireless connection. On 8.10 I was completely
unable to configure the wireless, and on 8.04 it was a painful but
eventually successful procedure. After confirming that wireless worked
on 9.04, I installed Ubuntu 9.04 amd-64 from scratch (overwrote existing
partition), rebooted as required, then used Update Manager to install
upgraded packages, and then shut down the machine. Before the machine
was shut down, the wireless was working. When the machine was next
started, it could see the wireless access points, but it never
successfully connected. Tried both the live 9.04 amd-64 and i386 cds,
and both failed. Also tried Vista (the machine is dual-boot) and that
too failed to connect. Tried the 9.04 amd-64 live cd again, and
unexpectedly, was able to connect. Rebooted back into the installed
9.04 amd-64 system, and was also able to connect again. Tried Vista,
and that too was able to connect. The problem has gone away, and I am
only reporting it for information, just in case it is a 9.04 problem. I
don't see how it can be, I am more suspicious of the Linksys router or
the laptop. I am not able to reproduce the problem.
