Cannot connect to WPA PSK network (ThinkPad X220 with Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 adapter)
Hello,
I'm having trouble connecting to WPA PSK network from my Debian
Squeeze machine with Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N + WiMAX
6250 adapter.
When I change the router and Debian's settings to use WEP, it just works.
I tried firmware-iwlwifi-0.29 from testing but it didn't help.
Please see below for details.
