Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.4.0-4
Severity: normal
If a wireless network card isn't able to report signal strength Network Manager
no longer allows connectiong to wifi networks. This was not so in previous
versions. All available wireless networks are greyed out. This is due to the
fact that the wifi adapter doesn't know how to report signal strength.
Connecting through other adapters (external USB) is possible.
In particular
#iwlist eth1 scan

and /var/log/syslog has the following line:
wpa_supplicant[1826]: bgscan simple: Failed to enable signal strength
monitoring
There are many cards that have this problem, and I do not see any reason to
grey out wifi networks that are reported by iwlist eth1 scan. If a network is
reported one can want to try to connect to it. Greying out is useless, IMHO.

Changes:
network-manager (0.9.4.0-5) unstable; urgency=low
.
* debian/patches/14-use-same-kernel-API-as-wpa_supplicant.patch: Some
drivers (ipw2x00) have an incomplete nl80211 implementation and only
report capabilities which made NM chose the wrong API to talk to the
device. Instead, match the logic that wpa_supplicant uses to determine
whether to stick with nl80211 or fall back to WEXT. (Closes: #673705)
