All in all I have come to the final conclusion how I made it work for me: 1) install Will's patched drivers
2) adding ieee80211_crypt_ccmp-rtl to the /etc/modules 3) configure interfaces and wpa_supplicant.conf as above Then it loads fine on boot and works fine with hidden SSID. I have added ap_scan=2 and scan_ssid=1 as below to the wpa_supplicant file, but have not tested if this determines it works with hidden SSID (my guess would be it does not but since it does not hurt..) ap_scan=2 network={ ssid="*********" scan_ssid=1 proto=WPA2 #proto=RSN <-- one setting proto=wpa2 does the job key_mgmt=WPA-PSK #pairwise=CCMP <-- one setting proto=wpa2 does the job #group=CCMP <-- one setting proto=wpa2 does the job psk=*************************************** } -- wpa_supplicant fails after upgrade to Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207446 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
