[Bug 567016] Re: Wireless won't work on Lenovo Thinkpad T510

[Vadim Chekan]

I want report success too. My box is ASUS Eee-1201T with Realtek 8192se adapter (discussed in some duplicate threads).
Installing pristine 10.04 netbook remix did not work, but upgrading it to 2.6.32-22 made wireless alive to some degree. Scanning worked, I could see my neighbors routers, but I could not connect to mine.
After some experiments I figured out that I can connect when I set my router to WPA/WPA2 Personal & TKIP.
Setting router to AES or AES+TKIP makes connect attempt failing after long (minutes) trying. 

Bear in mind, that I have a desktop ubuntu install of the same version,
and it works with router in AES mode just fine (Zonet ZEW2500P usb
adapter). So, OS is the same, router is the same, and only HW and
drivers are different.

Also something unexplainable happen to open (unencrypted) router
connections. They failed too ( I tried 2 of them). But after I managed
to connect to my own router, I checked open connections and was able to
connect to open ones. I rebooted severl times in between, so it hardly
can be wireless card stuck in a strange state.

So if your symptoms are: scanning works but you can't connect, please
report your *router* settings too. And give it a try WPA/TKIP.
