ok, I'll say all of this again. the applet that launches under "system settings" to configure "network" does not work properly for Wireless and Manual IPv4 for anyone who is not an administrator.
I want to have Manual wireless IP address on this laptop. Not DHCP. This permissions problem does not occur with Wired connection. The laptop gets an DHCP IPv4 for wired connection. Wireless IP address broke. Wired not broke, as bad. I can configure a Wireless Manual IP address for myself. I log out. and another person logs in. When this other account tries to make the Wireless connection work.. That person must enter the Admin password to get permissions to enable Wireless. Then, wireless only works for DHCP. Not Manual IP Address. What other problem description do you want? Any specific files to attached? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/915107 Title: network applet does not work properly for wireless Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: two things. The Wireless driver stopped working after today's apt-get update / upgrade / kernel upgrade. Also, before this problem appeared, wireless config applet in gnome- control-center would only work for dhcp configs. This PC is a laptop with two accounts. admin and non-admin. using dhcp, a non-admin person could get a IP address over wireless and work. I logged in as me, admin, and changed to config to be manual IP address. I checked "for all users". but that really didnt work. If I logged out, rebooted, and logged in as non-admin person, the laptop's network would not work . The non-admin person gets asked for admin person to login and give permissions. Hence, that little check box to allow all users, really does not work. The admin person can then login and IP networking would work over wireless, until reboot... except for this last patch upgrade and wireless driver stopped working all together.
