[ILUG] Routing problem

[Steven Kavanagh]

It's strange that you should say that. Could very well be a driver issue
after all. The previous install of Ubuntu on this laptop would be able to
scan for wireless networks but not be able to connect to any of them
(encryption or not) and it uses an ralink card using the rt2500 driver.

Since my upgrade to Intrepid Ibex however the issue seems to have resolve
itself however I did have to update my wpa-supplicant driver to get it to
connect to my network properly.

You may have mentioned this already but what version of Linux (Kernel also)
are you booting into?

Regards,
MrVestek
