allnet all0271 wlan-pci-card doesn't work with warty final

[Martin Reiche]

hi!

i use ubuntu since ca. 3 to 4 weeks and have a little problem with my 
wlan-card.
in the past i ever had to download the firmware from prism54.org and 
copy it to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware to get the card working...sofar no 
problem. yesterday a friend of mine told me that the final release from 
yesterday does support the card without copying the firmware first to 
the firmware directory. so i downloaded the final iso (my old 
installation was damaged anyway :-/) and tried to install it new with 
the new iso. at some point you will be asked for the essid and the 
wep-key. that means that at least the card is known by the kernel... 
fine... but when i write my essid and the wep-key i get a message that 
no dhcp-server has send me an ip or anything else.

so my question is: is that the normal way it works or should i get an ip 
from the dhcp-server during installation-time?
my friend told me that with his card everything works during 
installation... nothing to configure about wlan after reboot. he uses a 
different card but we both have the same chip on it... so im wondering 
what i'm doing wrong?!?

any ideas?

ps: sorry for my poor english... i'm german :-) and yep: i know how dhcp 
works... i only wonder why noone else seems to have this problem.
