The context
I am running nm-applet 0.6.5 on Ubuntu 7.10 on a Lenovo X61. It's worked great
for a few months. Suddenly it partly stopped networking with my home wireless.
When I first start nm-applet it shows the two-computer icon with an x on it in
the panel. After about one second the x goes away, but I don't have a
connection.
The problem
If I left-click the two-computer icon, the list of networks shows up with
signal strength and the two-computer icon switches to the bars with all the
bars empty and I don't connect.
If I click my network, nothing happens except that the next time I left click
the icon, the radiobutton for my network is selected. What used to happen was
the nm-applet icon would switch to the trying-to-connect icon (two dots with
moving arrows between them).
Possibly related behavior
If I go to the library across the street (where I am posting now), it
connects, but it still never shows the trying-to-connect icon. The bars just
fill up.
If I connect on ethernet, it switches and works automatically.
I don't know what caused the problem. It's possible using the library
connection caused a problem. On this network Evolution can't send emails (but
can receive them) and it occasionally blocks a site.
Can anyone help? Should I provide more information?
