Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
As stated by Alexander Sack in bug #50214 https:/
Connecting with network-
This seems similar to what Gpothier describes in the privies reported ipw2200 bug #199679 on 2008-03-27 just for Ubuntu Hardy.
I've reinstalled a couple of boxes with Kubuntu Hardy Beta, and updated thees to all the latest packages available in the archive as of 2008-04-09 - including network-
Using an other PCMCIA atheros based adapter in the boxes and without any changes to software make them connect right away.
Attached screenshot of the dialog box mentioned above, that keeps coming up when trying to connect - just to eliminate misunderstanding.
Just to verify that this IS a problem with network-manager 0.6.6 I today did further testing, and downgraded my Hardy Beta (including updates as of 2008-04-16) to the network-manager 0.6.5 released with Hardy Alpha 5. Removing the following packages sequentially : manager- kde_0.2. 2-1ubuntu2_ i386.deb manager_ 0.6.6-0ubuntu5_ i386.deb 1.1-1_i386. deb pre6_1. 0~pre6- 6_i386. deb manager_ 0.6.5-0ubuntu16 .7.10.0_ i386.deb manager- kde_0.2ubuntu1- 0ubuntu7_ i386.deb
1) network-
2) network-
3) libnl1_
And then installed thees Hardy beta 5 packages instead :
1) libnl1-
2) network-
3) network-
I was now able to connect again and again without having to confirmation on the above mentioned dialog box. Hopefully this network-manager 0.6.6 bug could bee solved before the final release, as the Intel 2200BG/2915ABG adapter to my knowledge is used in a lot of laptops around the globe (HP, Acer, Thinkpad etc.).
