I received an email from another user. "JC" suggested using http://wicd.sourceforge.net/ vs network-manager. After looking at the docs it is pretty easy to install. There is a debian repo for Ubuntu. Simply add the repo and a keyfile. Then install. Network Manager gets removed and replaced with wicd.
Getting it working just requires a restart of the system and the setup of your wireless ssid. Since mine is hidden, I needed to click on the "Network" drop down and add a hidden network. Now my wireless was setup. But could I connect on reboot? Nope... It behaved just like network manager (not in the good way) until I turned on "Automatically reconnect on connection loss" in the main preferences. Now it tries and re-tries after boot and gets me in. The behavior feel more like network-manager under hardy (the version that worked with my wireless card). I am hoping that network manager gets re-patched to behave like hardy. Until then, I will use wicd to get me through this trouble I am having. -- [MASTER 0.7 regression] atheros/madwifi and orinoco drivers not supported https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/259157 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
