Bug description:
I filed this as a bug to network manager first
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/971628). Using
standard network-manager nm-tool (and subsequently all tools built upon nm)
reports
- Device: eth1 [SERVANTS-WLAN]
------------------------------------------------
Type: 802.11 WiFi
Driver: ipw2200
State: connected
Default: yes
HW Address: <whatever>
Capabilities:
Wireless Properties
Wireless Access Points
...
Apr 4 11:28:57 Marias-NB NetworkManager[1053]: <info> (eth1): using nl80211
for WiFi device control
(Note: the NB is connected becaus I configured the connection once, but I
couldn't create a new one.)
If I persude nm to use wext nm-tool reports:
- Device: eth1 [SERVANTS-WLAN]
------------------------------------------------
Type: 802.11 WiFi
Driver: ipw2200
State: connected
Default: yes
HW Address: <whatever>
Capabilities:
Speed: 24 Mb/s
Wireless Properties
WEP Encryption: yes
WPA Encryption: yes
WPA2 Encryption: yes
...
Apr 4 11:01:59 Marias-NB NetworkManager[851]: <info> (eth1): using WEXT for
WiFi device control
And that's how I configured the connection in the first place.
Perhaps this could be fixed just by disabling nl80211 in ipw2200?
