Public bug reported: Problems are with a Intel BG2200 wifi cards in 12.04b2.
Looks like the drivers are in ipw2200, which apparently comes with the kernel. After installing 12.04b2 at least two people lost the ability to connect to WPA or WPA2 routers. In the network panel, the other networks still appear but are in a dark gray/grayed out. Only WEP routers appear to be options. Other report: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11832068#post11832068 After upgrades from 11.04, I was using the wifi card successfully for some hours, but then noticed in the network panel that it didn't know what network I was on. I made the mistake of disconnecting, and was not able to reconnect. I believe the BG2200 is a rather old card but was popular for a long time. There's probably a not insignificant usage base. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/977688 Title: BG2200 wifi card loses WPA abilities in 12.04b2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/977688/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
