I can't connect at all to my home WPA-Personal AP. I could not get any better results by getting closer to the signal. AFAIK, I was using madwifi under Jaunty on the same hardware, and despite a slow rate that I thought was due to the old 802.11b adapter, it was reliable. I have a rt2870sta USB dongle which had a similar symptom (association to the AP failing); installing linux-backports
The same hardware at the exact same distance from the AP works just fine in Win7. If I had no USB dongle, this would be a showstopper for me."
