    Wifi will not do WPA

    I posted this before the official release. It is still an issue. Using the 3.4RC4 kernel did not help. Any ideas?

    -----------------

    This is the last bug I have found in 12.04 (and to be honest, I have seen this occuring in other 3.2 Kernel releases as well). My wifi card will connect with WEP perfectly... but while it says it connects with WPA2, it will not move any traffic. The card is (from lspci):

    03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1030 (rev 34)

    This worked under Debian Wheezy with a 3.0 kernel. Don't know about 3.1 since they went straight to 3.2... then it stopped working. Moved to Kubuntu and got more of the same. I have tried losing network-manager and using wicd instead, but it makes it worse... then I can't even connect with WEP. My lsmod shows:

    mac80211 506816 1 iwlwifi

    Any thoughts? Did I include enough stuff? Probably not.

    I ended up fixing this the easy way... I went to Microcenter and bought an ASUS-N10 USB dongle. It worked out of the box, but I kept losing it during bootup. Once I went in and blacklisted the iwlwifi driver in modprobe.d, everything has worked absolutely flawlessy. It is tiny (barely sticks out) and much faster than the wifi I was experiencing with the built in card. Well worth $20.
