No, Steve is right. This is not one problem, but several problems that have the same apparent outcome, which is making this impossible to fix if it's treated as a single problem. Suppose your computer stopped booting into Ubuntu altogether. Could it be because your hard drive has physically

Rama, I am connecting to a network with 64-bit WEP encryption. The patch I wrote will only fix the issue if you are using the ndiswrapper or prism54 wireless drivers. These are both breaking because NetworkManager is issuing the incorrect AP_SCAN value to wpa_supplicant. Beyond that, there are

1. atheros should work again with latest upload. 2. drivers for intel 3945 was switched to iwl3945 which still uses a bad mac implementation that lacks the scan_capa capability patches. I won't tweak this unless I know that the mac implementation will stay broken like now for final. thus

scubanator87 - the issue here is not automatic connection - it's being able to connect period to hidden networks. The issue seems to be that network-manager is not interfacing with several drivers the way it is supposed to (using the wrong AP_SCAN value, for example). I assume then that there is
