[ubuntu-uk] Wireless adapter, network-manager, and WPA

[Matthew Larsen]

My card is supported by default on Feisty, but there is a lot of
missing functionality. I have a strange problem where I have to go
into the CL everytime I connect to a network:

1) Select Network
2) Connects: but only on IPv6. God knows why.
3) Fire up console: sudo ifconfig ra1 192.168.1.2 up
4) sudo dhclient ra1

Bizzarre. I'm being optimistic and hoping Gutsy will fix all this.

Regards,
