Public bug reported:
Everytime I reboot (because the exceptions during a year are countable
with countable with fingers) the network-manager says there is no
wireless interface--in its own way. What do I mean? Well, when I right
click the applet, the 'Enable Wireless' option is greyed-out. In fact,
the module wl doesn't load sometimes, but here is why I consider this
bug to belong to network-manager-applet:
When I switch off and back on the wireless antenna, the WiFi icon in my
computer lights up, indicating that the drivers for the network are
loaded. At this point, network-manager-applet still says wireless is not
accessible. The next thing I can do to prove you that the wireless is in
fact working for the whole system but for network-manager-applet, is to
run '# iwlist scan'--that returns some networks detected by my
networking hardware; ergo, the card is working, its just that nm-applet
isn't seeing it yet.
To prove even further my point, I decided to try out the wpa_supplicant,
which is used to connect to networks through the command line interface
--find the output attached. The thing is, after letting wpa_supplicant
work for a while (during which network-manager-applet still thought that
the wireless wasn't on) it got to connect to the network.
System: Ubuntu 10.04 'Lucid Lynx'
App version: 0.8
Please ask for any information you will need in order to fix this bug.
