I confirm it. It happens with Xubuntu 12.10 amd64, latest build 20121017.1 and with Ubuntu 12.10 i386, latest build 20121017.2.
** Description changed: - 1) Xubuntu 12.10 AMD64 Final Live USB persistent Testcase 10-16-2012 - 2) network-mananger-gnome 0.9.6.2 - 3) I expect the network-manager- gnome to show available wireless options without having to insert a rj-45 jack into the computer. - 4) I noticed the network manager behavior in previous test but seems to have gotten worse over time. The network-manager should show network options without manual intervention. + Xubuntu 12.10 AMD64 Final Live USB persistent 20121017.1, + Ubuntu 12.10 i386 Final Live USB persistent 20121017.2 + + - network-mananger-gnome 0.9.6.2 + - network-manager- gnome doesn't show available wireless networks and wifi options until you disable and then enable again networking/wireless from menu or you plug an ethernet cable in the computer. + - I noticed the network manager behavior in previous test but seems to have gotten worse over time.
