I'm new to the list, so hello everybody and pleased to meet you all. I have installed the recent 8.1 BETA 1 on an Eee PC 1005HA and I'm experiencing problems with the wireless card. It is correctly recognized and configured. I have an ath0 device and I can create an wlan0 without problems. I can even scan with wlan0 and sometimes I see my wireless router. The problem is when wpa_supplicant tries to register with the network that it fails. BTW, I have a WEP system with long key (13 hex digits). I have sniffed the wireless network with another computer and the packets seem to be all correct: the Eee PC sends correct packets to the air, and the wifi router replies them correctly, but wpa_supplicant reports "registration timed out", as if it wasn't receiving the packets. It is nevertheless very strange because around 2-3 weeks ago I had the STABLE branch installed on the same Eee PC and the wifi worked (not always, but it succedeed always when it was near the router and the PC was just being rebooted). Does anybody experience the same problem or has any hint on what could be happening? I have compiled my kernel with AH_DEBUG and ATH_DEBUG so I can also send dmesg traces if anyone can analyze them. Thanks in advance for your help, -- Ivan Zaera http://www.factoria2.com/desde/correo
