I've found past messages on this list as well as on bug trackers and forums across the internet[1], and found consistently the cause of the issue to be some missing firmware configuration files. In one bugzilla thread, there was even a homebrewed version of the file made[2]. I ask, why has this solution not been implemented yet? Currently, I find that while the card allows scanning and detection of WiFi networks easily, all attempts at authenticating to actually connect fail. Is the missing file the correct solution or is there some deeper obstruction?
