An old bug seems to reappear in feisty 7.04 (Herd 1). The wireless network card won't associate with access point when using WEP encryption.

Also, the wireless hotkey for turning the wireless network card on and off won't work.

Notes

* Only by manually enabling this.

** Turns off screen and when lid is opened the "lock screen" dialogue appears. I suppose the correct behavior would be for the computer to go to sleep or hibernate when lid is closed.

*** Tested and worked in last Dapper Flight release

**** Does not 'just work' but with the following config file (I have my laptop to the left of my 19 inch monitor) for xorg.conf everything works fine and dandy (extended desktop) only tested with breezy, dapper (should work in dapper as well) was pissing me off. With a stock config I was able to get mirroring to work by just rebooting. (edit: after a bit i found out that DRI is thus disabled, there is slight hope that option "MergeFB" or something like that enables DRI with an extended desktop, but for now I am back to the stock xorg.conf with DRI until someone can figure it out, since I have no clue) --Thomas Wolfe * http://coolhair.blogspot.com/2006/04/had-to-post-somewhere-my-xorgconf-file.html
