As expected, here I am a day later (it was so late by the time I’d finished) with a Ubuntised laptop, everything working, except the prism54 based chipset on my Draytek Vigor 540.
Quite why the damn card doesn’t work is problematic. It *appears* to be working correctly, loading the required modules and uploading the firmware to the card, yet it fails every time when attempting to get a DHCP assigned IP from the router.
Annoyingly, in the Network config dialog, I have to type ‘blind’ just like Windows to fill out the passphrase. Why? No, really, Ubuntu people why?? It’s infuriating as *I* know the passphrase, I just want to be able to check it as I type. If anyone was to look over my shoulder or subsequently use my laptop without my permission, they would be too busy recovering in hospital to use my key.
