[Launchpad Bug Tracker <916286@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I am stuck in Abu Dhabi airport due to a flight delay. There is and has
always been a free WiFi access ("ADAC Free Wireless). With the most
recent, fully updated 11.10 I cannot connect any longer. The icon blinks
and blinks, I have restarted, turned wireless on and off, even changed
locations in the building. It just has the 'quarter-circles' of the icon
moving up and startng again moving up until times out. Everything is
okay hardware-wise, because booting to that W7-Starter partition
(original partition) on the Samsung N150 brings up WiFi in all those
locations in Abu Dhabi airport without any hitch.

Unfortunately I don't know as of now how to debug the WiFi connection in Ubuntu. 
At least, here is all that I get from the W7
ipconfig /all

This bug should not be the case. When I fly back next week (January 22),
I'll be able to continue my investigations, if I have s set of commands
to get the connection details verbose.
