Bug#673705: [Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#673705: Bug#673705: network-manager: Network Manager doesn't connect to wifi (greyed out) when device cannot report signal strength
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Sorry for the ambiguity. I filed a bug against the kernel in Debian about this problem. Here it is: 673703: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=673703 Anyhow they said it was a hardware/firmware issue and that they wouldn't fix it themselves. They forwarded the issue upstream, to linux-wireless. On 05/20/2012 11:43 PM, Michael Biebl wrote: On 20.05.2012 23:36, Gennady N.

They forwarded the issue upstream, to linux-wireless. Two bugs here: first the ipw2x00 kernel issues that got fixed recently; one is the encryption capabilities issue that causes the grayed out menu items. The other bug is an NM bug, fixed by: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=50435e1d5deff17233f1de73ee030a5982e9fd05 which should be a safe backport. The NM fix is really the correct fix until the ipw2x00 driver gets ported to cfg80211 in the kernel. It's 10% of the way there, which is what was confusing NM.
