[Bug 747081] Re: [Natty] [Kubuntu] Cannot enable wireless in Network Manager plasmoid
I have a Dell Inspiron 15N laptop that I upgraded to Natty. After the upgrade my wireless did not work. In fact, it did not even see the wireless. lshw showed the wireless as unassigned. I went wired and completely removed KNetworkManager and installed WICD. That changed nothing. What is it about (K)Ubuntu that the developers are against wifi??? The worst part is that if I operate the button that turns on the WIFI equipment, I get a notification that it has been turned off, and, if I then turn it back on, I get a notification that it is turned on. What is that Why can't they get it right and leave it alone.

[Bug 747081] Re: [Natty] [Kubuntu] Cannot enable wireless in Network Manager plasmoid
The same problem that had henrisk. I tried the internal ath9K that was working with 10.10 and an external usb wireless card. I tried under gnome classic with nm-applet and the same problem was present: when I clic on 'enable wireless' it is disabled by the system or the application in the next second. There's no log. $ cat /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state [main] NetworkingEnabled=true WirelessEnabled=true WWANEnabled=true -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/747081 Title: [Natty] [Kubuntu] Cannot enable wireless in Network Manager plasmoid -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I fixed my problem with adding 'blacklist acer-wmi' in the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file. If it works your bug may be a duplicate or a new use case of the acer-wmi regression bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/linux/+bug/710738 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/747081 Title: [Natty] [Kubuntu] Cannot enable wireless in Network Manager plasmoid -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This appears to be the same behavior reported in bug 689529 and bug 745394. My state file shows that it thinks wireless is enabled, but I can verify both from the LED status and from iwconfig that wireless networking is not enabled. wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=0 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off ** Attachment added: NetworkManager.state https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasma-widget-networkmanagement/+bug/747081/+attachment/1962776/+files/NetworkManager.state -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to plasma-widget-networkmanagement in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/747081 Title: [Natty] [Kubuntu] Cannot enable wireless in Network Manager plasmoid -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
