[Bug 250055] Re: No WPA2 after last autom. upgrade with adept

[katjana]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: knetworkmanager
  
  Early this week, I downloaded the last updates with Adept. Since I do
  this automatically, I don´t know what they were. There were four, and
  one of them asked me whether I wanted to overwrite the grub menu list.
  
  When I restarted kubuntu, there was no longer any WPA2 in my network
  manager. I was advised to reinstall wpasupplicant and to add kwlan. Whan
  I removed my wpasupplicant, I also lost cabled connection!
  
  After having reinstalled kubuntu from partimage backup, and downloaded the 107 updates waiting for me: No WPA2. I installed kwlan. No cable connection! 
- I am using KUbuntu8.04 Release i386 (20080423)regularly brought up to date. I use a Broadcom B43 restricted driver

+ So I reinstalled from a freshly downloaded Kubuntu 8.4, adding the twenty-some updates. I did not download the restricted driver but went straight ahead and installed Ndiswrapper. I found my driver in the Ndiswrapper list and installed it. Still no go. 
+ So then I used this workaround (found on ubuntu forums):
+ 
+ sudo nano /etc/init.d/wirelessfix.sh
+ 
+ Paste:
+ #!/bin/bash
+ 
+ modprobe -r b44
+ modprobe -r b43
+ modprobe -r b43legacy
+ modprobe -r ssb
+ modprobe -r ndiswrapper
+ modprobe ndiswrapper
+ modprobe b44
+ 
+ And save
+ cd /etc/init.d/ && sudo chmod 755 wirelessfix.sh
+ sudo update-rc.d wirelessfix.sh defaults
+ 
+ Now I had wireless with WPA2 encryption for a few days. But it
+ disappeared again! I imagined the signal got weeker, and finally, my
+ network manager did not see my network at all, only the neighbour's
+ network! When I disabled encryption of the router, the connection was
+ excellent. When I enabled it, the wpa 1 and wpa2 checkboxes were greyed
+ (disabled).
+ 
+ So I gave up, and am now using Wicd. So far so good. Excellent signal,
+ and no problem connecting to WPA2 network.
