[Bug 220640] Re: [hardy] iwl3945 + wpasupplicant fails to connect to university network. regression from gutsy (ipw3945+wpasupplicant)

[Yann]

iwl driver does not show as mature as previous ipw driver. It would be
nice, for a LTS, to add the possibility of using "old" but good ipw
driver in restricted drivers manager.

iwl driver have poor sensibility (lots of ap's seen in windows laptop at
the same place not seen in Hardy, 98% signal strenght versus 80% close
to the AP and so on).

iwl does not suspend correctly (hangs just after disabling PCI irq for
3945 ABG device... just before syncing disks: Bad for FS).

Anyway, Hardy is a real deception comming from Dapper: Eye candy, but
lot of little problems for a LTS version due to the integration of non
mature elements (iwl, but also pulseaudio...).

I hope fixes soon indeed... or I'll leave ubuntu after more thant 2
years.
