Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager

In Ubuntu Feisty (but not in Breezy, I believe) I can only connect to wireless networks by choosing the wireless network from the network manager applet while the applet is already attempting to connect.

For instance, when logging into GNOME, the network manager tries to connect to my network, but will fail unless I choose the network while it is trying to connecting (and not after).

As soon as I choose the network again, one of the two circles in the icon turns green and a connection is soon established. This sounds very odd but it's been like this for at least two weeks and it really seems to be the case.

I suppose it could sometimes be trying to connect to another wireless network, but it has never successfully connected to any other network. Is there a log file that I can look at?

this should be fixed in latest network-manager (gutsy 0.6.5-0ubuntu14). We don't touch any interface configured in /etc/network/intefaces anymore, which should fix a lot of confusing behaviour.

if you still have this bug, please reopen or open a new bug.

Thanks,
