How can a Cisco Aironet wireless card connect to a WPA encrypted network?
- by Aibara Iduas
I have a Thinkpad T40 running Ubuntu 10.10. I want to connect to wireless networks with WPA encryption; they appear in the network list, but are grayed out. The card does support WPA, since it works in Windows. In 10.10 the wireless works just fine with unprotected and WEP networks, but cannot connect to any WPA networks.
The card is a Cisco Aironet Wireless 802.11b.
I've been reading a lot of forum posts trying to find a solution, but either encounter threads where no solution was found or answers longer apply (most date from 2007, since this isn't the newest of computers).
Here is the output of sudo lshw -c network:
*-network:1 DISABLED

Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated!
