Bug#615112: firmware-ipw2x00: Very unstable wifi connection on my Thinkpad R50e with WEP encryption (passphrase) with firmware 3.1
Package: firmware-ipw2x00
Version: 0.28
Severity: important
The connection fails often and wicd try to connect again in vain, seem to be a
difficulty to obtain IP adress with DHCP
Problem seems to be solved by downgrading to hand installed firmware 3.0.
