Public bug reported: I have a strange issue with network-manager and bcm43xx driver. On Dapper, network-manager chose the right (i mean the latest used) ESSID automatically and connect upon login. In Edgy, network-manager won't connect to the latest ESSID, until I type as root
# iwconfig eth1 essid any After that, it joins the wifi network. Don't know if it's a bug from the bcm43xx driver (don't think so), network-manager-gnome. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- bcm43xx and network-manager-gnome don't work completely right https://launchpad.net/bugs/70693 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
