** Description changed: Binary package hint: network-manager 1) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu maverick (development branch) Release: 10.10 2) apt-cache policy network-manager network-manager: Installed: 0.8.1+git.20100810t184654.ab580f4-0ubuntu2 Candidate: 0.8.1+git.20100810t184654.ab580f4-0ubuntu2 Version table: *** 0.8.1+git.20100810t184654.ab580f4-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) What is expected to happen is Network Manager populates networks within range immediately when ones wireless hardswitch is turned on, whether the ethernet cord is plugged in or not. 4) What happened instead is when the wireless hardswitch is off, ethernet plugged in, one removes the ethernet cord, then within seconds turn the wireless hardswitch on so the WiFi indicator light is on, no networks are in range, even after waiting a few minutes. Please see screenshot.png for scenario where the ethernet cord is plugged in, wifi switch on and no wifi networks populate Network Manager. WORKAROUND: In Ubuntu 10.10 reboot the pc with the ethernet cord unplugged, wireless hardswitch turned on. WORKAROUND: In Ubuntu 11.04, with wireless hardswitch turned off, ethernet cable plugged in, perform a clean boot. Disconnect ethernet cord then turn on wireless hardswitch and notice no wireless networks in the area.
