Wireless problems with FON router

[parvenu]

I just did a clean install of 8.10 over 8.04. Right after I installed it, I was able to connect to the FON router just fine but after an update, I was unable to connect anymore.

After typing in the correct password, it would prompt me to type in the password again, but where I had typed in the correct password, there was now a very long alphanumeric code in its place.

I run a dual boot system so after switching back to Vista, I am still unable to connect with the router until I reset it. This leads me to believe that Ubuntu and the router are incompatible for some reason and Ubuntu changes something in the router.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Thank you!

I have the same problem, unencrypted (Fon_AP) works.. and encrypted works SOMETIMES. Some week ago I could fix it by changing the password, but that doesn't help me now.

Great ... still having the same problem with zero answers. On the FON forums, no answers at all as well.

I will try:

Though, I think the solution will be not using Ubuntu here.

Sometimes it takes like one hour to connect to the FON router, using WPA, while a Windows box can do it in one second.
