The network works. tcriess (thorsten-riess) wrote on 2007-08-19: #2 I can confirm that behavior, although I have a different wireless network card (Broadcom chipset running with ndiswrapper). The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1721 and the network works properly. michelem (michele-marcucci) wrote on 2007-08-19: #3 I confirm it with a Dell Latitude d610 (Intel ipw2200), I dont know if it is the cause but I have random freeze of my pc after the Gutsy upgrade (yesterday) Juan Pablo Salazar Bertín (snifer) wrote on 2007-08-27: #4 This is a duplicate of bug #131835.
