Bug 399535

SUMMARY
Wireless components cannot connect to new router. This happens even if the wireless security is switched off, the encryptions is changed, or if the technology is forced to b, b+g  or even b+g+n protocols. The OS simply fails to connect to this router even if passwords are switched off. All other PCs and mobile phones connects to the router with no problems.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Setup a TP-Link TL-MR6400 router
2. Attempt to connect to the WiFi Lan

EXPECTED RESULT
Wireless Lan should connect to modern routers
