    I know this must be addressed here somewhere, but after an hour searching, I can't find it.

    I have an AOA-150 running Ubuntu 9.04. Wifi works great with WEP or no security, but when I try to use WPA at work, it only connects if I boot to kernel 2.6.28-18-11-generic. Two more recent kernels, -17-generic and -18-generic work fine with WEP, but just will not connect to WPA. :?

    Anyone have a hint, a link to the message where you solved this for someone else? :?:

    Thanks in advance for your time.

    I don't recall when the ath5k wifi driver actually became usable from one kernel version to the next, but I think your kernels should be ok. My advice is to just use the older kernel. I've got Ubuntu 9.10 and the development version of 10.04 on my AOA150; both work well for me. YMMV.
