network manager unable to switch between wired and wireless connections

Thanks for your report, changing the package to network-manager now.

Could you please provide the output of your syslog at the time you try to switch between wired and wireless connections?.

Thanks in advance

Ok, I ran some tests here, and here's what I've found. For some reason, the behavior isn't quite like it was before, maybe due to some upgrades I did this morning (around 12 hours ago). In any case, here's what I did (all on Nov 6)

20:41 (8:41pm)
laptop in wired connection - reboot - open Firefox (Wikipedia) to check, seems OK
turn on WiFi card (Fn+F2 key on keyboard), unplug Ethernet cable
icon in toolbar indicates connection, but Wikipedia doesn't respond
restart Firefox, Wikipedia now responds
turn off WiFi card, plug in Eth cable, click icon to change to wired connection - no response (time 20:50)
turn on WiFi card, unplug Eth cable, check Wikipedia, no response, reboot

20:52 rebooting with WiFi on and Eth disconnected
Wikipedia OK
turn off WiFi, plug in Eth cable
icon shows wired connection, Wikipedia doesn't respond at first, but then responds, loads pages, but doesn't load pics
restart Firefox, Wikipedia works fully

20:57 - unplug Eth, turn on WiFi card
icon shows wireless connection, Wikipedia doesn't respond at first, but then responds, loads pages, but doesn't load pics
restart Firefox, Wikipedia works fully (basically same scenario as above)

20:59 - turn off WiFi card, plug in Eth cable - Wikipedia doesn't respond, icon shows no connection (two screens with small red X)

21:01 - retry cable connection, icon still shows no connection, and doesn't respond to radio button (left click, select wired connection manually)

21:02 - reboot wired (WiFi card still off), and submit report, hopefully attachment makes it

Have you had a chance to replicate the bug, and possibly implement a
fix? If not, then how can I "install" the wireless code from 7.04
into my 7.10 system?

I've got the same problem with network-manager. I'm on Kubuntu, and I'm using it with the Knetworkmanager applet.

Selecting a wireless network from the list won't get me a connection. Knetworkmanager says "Connection failure", and re-connects to the wired connection.

However, unplugging the LAN cord causes network-manager to get connect to wireless instantly (often but not always).

I'm attaching /var/log/syslog and dmesg for the timeframe of the event (choosing wireless network (eth1) in knetworkmanager, while the LAN cord is connected).

dmesg

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 latest Ubuntu release?

Thank you.

I have given up on Network Manager and installed WiCD in its place a
few weeks ago, which works perfectly all of the time.
