[2.6.27-rc1] Can't connect to encrypted network

[Justin Madru <jdm64@gawab.com>]

Hi,

When I use the 2.6.27-rc1 kernel I can't connect to an encrypted 
network; the connection times out. Connecting to unencrypted works fine.
If I use my distro's kernel (2.6.24) or my build 2.6.26 kernel it is 
able to connect. I'm using Ubuntu 8.4 and an intel 3945 card.
Am I doing something wrong? or is this a regression? I get the following 
in my syslog:
