Friends >>> Following the surprisingly few responses to some recent questions about wifi, I'm beginning to wonder how many of us are actually using Ubuntu wirelessly on laptops.
So here's a quick poll:
Do you use Ubuntu on a laptop + wifi?
And, if you do, do you use
no encryption / WEP / WPA / WPA2
with ESSID broadcast / hidden?
Mac
Desktop - Broadcom 4306 w/ bcm43xx or ndiswrapper, depending on my mood (ndiswrapper default).
Laptop - Atheros 5212 w/ Madwifi.
Both connect to my AP with WPA-PSK TKIP.
With broadcast off I find it difficult to connect most of the time. bcm43xx will see it and sometimes connect, but ndiswrapper won't admit to it's existence at all.
I also find CCMP/AES unreliable with on both cards.
NB. I'm still on Ubuntu 7.04 where ndiswrapper has the performance edge over bcm43xx, but when I move to 7.10 I may switch permanently.

P.S. Has anyone tried NM 0.7 on Fedora yet? I'm still downloading here.
