Meu problema é praticamente uma duplicata do link mas não havia uma resposta adequada lá e eu não consegui encontrar uma maneira de comentar sobre isso, então aqui vai de novo.
Eu tenho um Samsung NC20. Eu estava usando Natty por um tempo e tudo estava funcionando bem com o wireless. Após a atualização para o Oneiric, não consegui mais conectar-me a redes protegidas. As redes são detectadas, mas quando tento me conectar, o Network Manager continua tentando até que o tempo limite, eu acho. Redes não seguras funcionam bem. Fiz o upgrade para o Precise usando uma rede insegura, mas o problema continua.
Eu tentei procurar uma solução para esse problema neste site e em outros lugares, mas não consegui encontrar nada que funcionasse. Eu tentei o WICD em vez do Network Manager, como algumas pessoas sugeriram: o mesmo problema. Eu instalei o material sem fio compat linux-backports-modules-cw-3.3-precise-generic , mas isso também não ajudou.
Como você pode imaginar isso é muito chato e eu realmente aprecio alguma ajuda.
Obrigado antecipadamente!
P.S. - Aqui está a saída de alguns comandos possivelmente relevantes:
