And yet, my intel 3945 works fine with me with WEP & NetworkManager both in Hardy and Intrepid. Don't forget there are multiple "sub-models" of a given model. Please report your detailled hardware information (lspci -vvnn) on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/253697 (Intel 3945 Wireless in Hardy cannot negotiate WEP or WPA Keys) or/and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/223174 (Intel WLAN, 3945 (a/b/g) - low performance). -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
