Description
Helo
WPA and WPA2 still do not work properly. Please overview.
And please add some authentification to LAN. LAN should have the same options like WAN (Name, password type. Key).

Thats new for me! Is it maybe a driver issue with your card?

Like the others have said, I guess you mean "WPA" instead of "WAP" - WAP is a kind of HTTP (and more) for PDAs, which is not relevant to Ubuntu running on laptop or desktop computers.

WPA and WPA2 work properly on the two laptops on which I have tested it (both with Intel 4965 WiFi), both in Gutsy and Hardy alpha 6.

Well yeah, Have you learned an important lesson about buying Atheros products?

Just some advice:
You don't need to say "Hello" before you write your idea. Just get right to the idea. And you don't need to finish with "Regards". If you skip the "Hello" and "Regards" and stick to just the idea description it will be easier for people to read. :-)

I have a Atheros product.

Yes, that was my point, are you going to make that mistake again in the future?
