New to Linux but been using Ubuntu on my Netbook as a replacement to Xandros for a couple of months now.When I installed Inrepid I had this problem but it was solved by installing the Array.org Kernel, now I've upgraded to the new release (9.04 Netbook Remix) and the problem is back - I cannot access any wireless networks that use WPA TKIP + AES.

I also noticed thanks to Bryan Stephenson that there's a new version (2.1.1.0) of the driver available with the following release notes:

[2.1.1.0]
 1. Fixed driver would send zero IWEVASSOCREQIE to Native WpaSupplicant.
 2. Fixed driver would send non-zero BSSID to Navtive WpaSupplicant when STA disconnecting to AP.

I've been reading up for about 6 or 7 hours now and I've noticed a lot of references to WpaSupplicant in bug reports but no real solution and being new to Linux I'm not entirely sure how I would install this driver myself to see if it solves the problem. Has anyone tested this driver or can anyone point me in the right direction to get going myself?

Bit disappointed this wasn't fixed as it's a large part of the functionality of a Netbook.
