Bug Description

I have a dual band router. On the a/g frequency (2.472 GHz) everything works fine but on the b/n frequency (5.18) GHz I cant connect if I set up WPA security. It works if I leave the network unsecured but not WPA security. WPA security works fine on the a/g frequency.

I want to use the b/n range as I have so many competing Wifi signals nearby (a/g range) I often lose connection.
On the b/n range Its never drops but I have no security.
Any suggestions??

Do I understand you correct in that it is now fixed, we just need to backport whatever fixed it to the LTS?

Not sure but I think so? I ran quantal as a live CD so didn't install anything but appeared to work. Its still broke on my system at the moment. I'm still running precise.

I have today run Update manager and its now working fine. I didn't notice if this updated my kernal but it may have done.

Does the following output make it clear?

It says the same in the details above: "Linux 3.2.0-31-generic-pae i686", but there might have been other updates that has fixed this. Anyway, great you got it resolved.
