Comment 46 for bug 572777

Confirmed same problem here, #35 didn't fix it though.

The strange bit is that it works on some AP's and not on others. Both using WPA2. The difference being that the one that's not working is a sonicwall box with 802.11n and the working one is a thomson router with 802.11g.

Can someone PLEASE make this a high importance bug?

Details of my machine are below:
