Bug Description

When trying to set the network with a rt2500 card i get this:

$ sudo ifdown ra0

Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device ra0 ; Function not implemented.

Furthermore i can't access the usual network I use in my university, it is a no key network.

$ iwlist ra0 scanning

gives

ra0 No scan results

and the graphical client in System->Administration->Networking is showing no networks in the pulldown menu in the Properties of the ra0.

To top it all when selecting properties from the network icon in top-left corner, the network i have written myself in the essid is shown as connected to with a password though deleted the password from the old network before connecting to the new one without password. I have tried both Hex an ASCII.

Which is why I am still running Dapper.

It is shocking that developers released Edgy with so many wireless problems. Why have they upgraded gnome-network when it clearly doesn't work? How on earth they expect people to test when they can't connect to a network?

Putting the rt2500 to one side, could the problem be the same as #66594? If you link together maybe the fix comes sooner?

does not seem to be the same... it is two different chipsets

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

Yes - works fine out of the box on today's current Hady Alpha 4 - Hardy looks in much better shape than Dapper did in Feb 2006.
