Bug 62685 was about a problem with the hostap driver. That problem being that it no longer works. This problem is not connected to that one. There is something in common, though. In order to get the hostap driver to drive the hardware, orinoco must be blacklisted. However, once orinoco (and prism2) are blacklisted, hostap still doesn't work.
In this bug, we have the simple problem that the newly built prism2 driver masks the (working) orinoco driver. ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 62685 [Edgy regression] Hostap driver for PRISM2 wifi card not working any more -- Orinoco_pci affected by re-enabled prism2 drivers https://launchpad.net/bugs/63989 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
