Comment 166 for bug 182716

As per below you requested to know if Intrepid Alpha 5 fixed it. It did not. I have the same problem
(ndiswrapper won't connect to WPA but will connect to an open, unencrypted Wifi) but with rev 2 of bcm4306 hardware as I have documented in bug 276980 with exact steps to re-create on the live
CD. I have verified that it is broken in both Alpha 5 and Alpha 6. (I think I tried the Beta too, but
not certain.) The steps to re-create this bug on the Intrepid live CD also cause it to fail on the Hardy
live CD but not on the Gutsy live CD (with appropriate rmmod module change) so this has been
broken for a year.

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.
