[Bug 862684] Re: rtl8192cu fails to connect randomly and drops connections on WPA/WPA2 PSK

 

** Description changed:

  On a fresh 11.10-beta2 install, with the 'Belkin N150 Surf' usb NIC,
  which uses driver rtl8192cu, network-manager freezes randomly with the
  message 'Configuring Interface'. It ends up connecting after
- unplugging/plugging the nic several times in two different ports.
+ unplugging/plugging the nic several times in two different ports, even
+ though the connection drops a few minutes later, or displays as
+ connected in network-manager but isn't really connected.
  
  After trying it with wicd, wicd.log shows it may have something to do
  with wpa_supplicant. It shows WPA_CLI STATUS is ASSOCIATING, and shortly
  after, WPA_CLI STATUS is SCANNING.
  
  This also happens applying all possible updates (sudo apt-get update +
- sudo apt-get upgrade)
+ sudo apt-get upgrade).
