Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager

While upgrading from Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy to Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy I get the error "Could not install 'network-manager'. Upgrade will continue but the 'network-manager' package may not be in a working state. Please consider submitting a bug report about it. Subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2." Currently network manager is able to sustain an ethernet connection but does not give me an option to connect to enable wireless.

I would like to give an update about the state of my network-manager. On 2008-04-27 I had written "Currently network manager is able to sustain an ethernet connection but does not give me an option to connect to enable wireless." Later that day I was able to get my wireless to work.

I apologize that I cannot recall exactly what happened -- either I ran something in System/Administration OR Hardy automatically recognized the wireless card after a reboot, but in any case, a window appeared directing me to the proprietary wireless driver and asked if I wanted to use it (which I did). After following the directions in the window, the wireless worked just fine.

So, I do now have wireless. OTOH, I did indeed receive the error listed above during the upgrade process and it might be relevant for other users or to improve the installation script. Thanks for looking at my bug report!
