Bug Description
#Dell Inspiron 1300
Kubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04
#KDE 3.5.9
#Broadcom Wireless Card (Broadcom B43 wireless driver)
After having upgraded to Kubuntu Hardy Heron, at each login the laptop's wireless indicator is on. Even when this is disabled under Network Settings -> Network Connections, though it turns off after that, it is reactivated when I log in again. Even with the option for wireless being disabled under via right-clicking the KNetworkManager icon in the system tray, the icon remains lit. This was not a problem when using Gutsy Gibbon.
Furthermore, under connection status in KNetworkManager the 'Device' and 'Vendor' fields are displayed as 'Unknown' and this wasn't the case under Gutsy either. This is referring to a wired connection but I think it highlights the problem with KNetworkManager under this upgraded distribution.
