Comment 58 for bug 63989

Hi,
In the hope wireless would work again on my IBM Thinkpad X30, I just did a fresh install of the latest Ubuntu Hardy Alpha. Unfortunately nm-applet does not show the wireless networks.

Ubuntu boots up with a spinning progress bar (moving left and right without progress) and hangs during ten seconds. Afterwards Ubuntu boots up normally. If I blacklist the hostap* drivers the hanging does not occur.

Wireless worked in Dapper before. How can I get this working again?

Thanks in advance,
Stani
