Bug Description
When I set my wireless router (Linksys WRT54G) to channel 1, it shows up in the drop-down list of available networks. However, many other companies in the same building as me have their routers set to channel 1, so I prefer to run my router on another channel (e.g. channel 7) to minimise interference.
When I change the broadcast channel my router's SSID no longer shows up in the available list of networks. If I choose "connect to other wireless network" and enter in all the appropriate settings, I can connect to my router, it then shows up in the available networks list with a signal strength of 88%.
If I reboot my laptop, however, I have to go through the above procedure again... unless I switch the router back to channel 1, in which case it suddenly shows up in the list of available networks again.

Hi there
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with the development version of Ubuntu, Hardy Heron?
Thanks in advance.
