Got the same problem on T61 ( Atheroes 5212 WLan card )

I can connect to ap in windows ,but can't connect to the same ap in ubuntu
hardy.
The nm-applet can find and list all ap, but the card keep change frequency
after I
choose one.

<br>
The first thing you need to do is figure out what drivers and stuff<br>
Mepis is loading to get wireless working. Start with &quot;lspci&quot; at the<br>
command line, and also &quot;lsmod.&quot; Make note of anything related to the<br>
wireless.<br>
<br>
Then I would suggest going to the Ubuntu forums and post in the Laptop<br>
and Hardware forum what Mepis is doing and ask why (K)Ubuntu is not<br>
doing it. When you figure out the answer you can not only fix your own<br>
installation of Kubuntu, you can add the information to Launchpad so<br>
developers of the next version will realize that the enhancement is<br>
needed.<br>
