Leann,

Using kernel 2.6.27-7-generic I am affected by https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294667 when installing the backport modules, so I am unable with this kernel and backport module version.

Using kernel 2.6.27-9-generic the backport modules loads fine, but I cannot associate with my AP as described in comment 1 and onwards of this bug report (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/264881/comments/1).

I have done some more testing on my laptop, and made the following observations:
- I am unable to associate with my AP using the Intrepid Live CD
- iwlist wlan0 scanning never lists my AP (but does list others, using both WEP and WPA encryprtion as well as no encrpytion)
- A manual setup using wpasupplicant and /etc/network interfaces for key setup is not successfull
- Using my AP, I am also not able to associate using no encryption.

With my USB Zydas device my computer connects fine using all 2.6.26 and .27 kernels, but I did notice that after installing linux-backport-modules on 2.6.27-9 I was not able connect with the Zydas device. After removing backport-modules and rebooting I could connect with the Zydas device but not the integrated iwl3945 chipset.
