Kensey, as per
http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/latitude-e6500 an
update is available for your BIOS (A29). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  iwlagn driver won't associate to a WPA2 network created with hostapd

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Invalid
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On my home server (screwtape) running 10.04, I created a WPA2 network
  with hostapd 0.7.3 and tried to connect to it from my laptop running
  11.04.  (I tried doing this with hostapd 0.6.10, which is the packaged
  version on that host, but my laptop didn't even see it then.)  My
  laptop would almost never associate using its mini-PCI Intel Wi-Fi
  Link 5100 adapter -- the Network Manager or Wicd icons would just
  animate for awhile and then it would ask for the key, repeatedly.  In
  several dozen attempts I was able to associate successfully I think
  three times.  Trying to connect on other hosts like my wife's Windows
  7 PC or my iPod touch was successful always.  Trying it with other
  hardware (an Atheros-based Belkin PC card and a Ralink-based MSI USB
  stick) on the same laptop was successful as well.

  In trying to get the Intel wireless card to work, I tried all of the
  following variations on the HostAP network:

  Wireless-G, WPA2, CCMP
  Wireless-G, WPA, CCMP
  Wireless-G, WPA, TKIP
  Wireless-G, WEP

  None were successful with the Intel hardware, all were successful with
  other hardware.
