Ubuntu, La Fonera and WPA wifi encryption

in General

Recently I have set up a wi-fi connection thorough a La Fonera router. I encountered some issues connecting with Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid using WPA encryption.
Here there is what I found necessary to make the connection working correctly :

  1. Install kernel backports modules
    sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic
  2. Set IEEE 802.11 regulatory domain code of your region
    sudo echo "options lbm_cw_cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=EU" >> /etc/modprobe.d/options
    (Substitute EU with your country/region code)
  3. Reboot
