[Bug 916286] Re: Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) does not connect to WiFi in Abu Dhabi airport (ADAC)

Title:
  Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) does not connect to WiFi in Abu Dhabi airport
  (ADAC)

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
