Bug Description
Upgrading from Jaunty. I booted from the Lucid CD, and the WiFi sees the network, but it won't connect to it. I am attaching a screen shot of the connection information when it works, as well as the iwevent for when it works and when it doesn't. Any help will be greatly appreciated, as this is preventing me upgrading. Thanks.

This might be helpful. After screwing around with the network settings all day between the two setups, I noticed that the frequency setting is different on the network card on the different boots. "iwconfig" shows this on the Jaunty boot (which works):
eth1 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"Goesh" Nickname:"HERMES I"
Mode: Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: 00:60:B3:CD:DA:EE
Bit Rate:2 Mb/s Sensitivity:1/3
Retry limit:4 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=23/92 Signal level=-74 dBm Noise level=-97 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:154 Rx invalid frag:419
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
The "iwconfig" for when it doesn't work looks like this:
eth1 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:""
Mode: Managed Frequency:2.422 GHz Access Point: None
Bit Rate:11 Mb/s Sensitivity:1/0
Retry limit:8 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=0/70 Signal level=-122 dBm Noise level=-122 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:1
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
I attempted to change the freq or channel, but was told the device was busy. The network was not connected to anything. I tried shutting it down (ifconfig eth1 down), but was still unable to change the frequency. Any ideas? Might this be the problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
