Hm, I would have thought you would have to run those touch commands before disconnecting power (in the 3rd boot). Anyway, if this fixes it it's fine.
I think the kernel currently in natty-proposed 2.6.38-9.43 might fix this issue. Could any of you please test this kernel? Enable proposed, install that kernel (upgrading should do that), shut down, boot, check what kernel you are running with uname -a and test whether the bug is gone (remove any workarounds like those from comment #3 a before that). ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773018 Title: Wireless RA2860 doesnt associate when on Natty -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
