As of 26 January build, either amd64 or i386, network manager detects the network, sees that an encryption key is needed, and then disconnects.
Manually connect to the hidden network, it's got the key already, click thru the drop downs and connects fine. Obviously the network manager needs to put 2 and 2 together: 1. Hidden network.] 2. NM has the name of the network. 3. NM knows on a hidden network a key is required. 4. NM knows what the key is. 5. NM should enable wireless and connect but instead quits. Bug in the NM connection code. 6. Lost sight of how many times I had to manually connect today on two different pc's, one with Intel the other with Broadcom, same problem Only thing NM is better at is going through the drop downs which was deadly slow. Now just slow. BTW, Pangolin just goes ahead and connects. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1097002 Title: On every boot, raring 3.7.0-7 fails to connect to wireless WPA Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: On Acer Aspire 1, Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000 [Condor Peak, and on Acer 5253 Broadcom BCM 43225 automatically disconnect from hidden wireless WPA and I have to mouse select the NM applet, choose the only network available, then connect using the already saved encryption key.
