Last night, I tried using wifi from the comfortinn I am staying at for the 
week, and I repeatedly received a kernel error:

:WARNING: at drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-core.c:482 iwl_check_rxon_cmd+0x21
1/0x21f [iwlagn]()

Actually, looking at the respective line of code, it seems the module is 
complaining that channel number 6 is not a valid channel number...

Now here are the problems related to network manager:
  1. I have no way of aborting the connection attempt.  In fact now when I'm in 
the hotel I have to have the wifi switched off otherwise it automatically tries 
to connect to comfortinn, and generates the error repeatedly, blocking me from 
doing anything else.
  2. I'm not sure if the problem is a kernel bug, or network manager is passing 
invalid parameters.   There seems to be no way to open the connection in with 
the gnome interface to network manager.  I can only open the connection options 
for connections I'm actively connected to.   Is there a file on disk somewhere 
I can access, or an alternate UI?

BTW. This problem seems related to the settings used for comfort inn, as I have 
never had problems connecting to any other wifi network.

Regards,

Bill
