I'm having a similar issue using Ubuntu 9.04 server. I cannot set up a connection to the WPA network in my home. I have tried both broadcasted ESSID and not. The chipset is RTL8187B.
I cannot receive a DHCP IP, yet all my other computers will work with DHCP. Also, I tried to boot from an ubuntu desktop 9.04 cd and was able to make a connection through network manager. I was not able to find out the manual configuration info that worked for network manager though. After some reading I determined that nm doesn't store it's info anywhere "typical". I also tried setting up the connection using a static IP and this works some of the time, and some of the time not. When it does give me an IP I am only able to ping LAN addresses and not able to get out to the internet. I tried this workaround: KERNEL=="regulatory*", ACTION=="change", SUBSYSTEM=="platform", RUN+="sbin//crda" This was linked a couple posts up for anyone confused as to what I'm talking about. When I opened the file, it had been patched to have two slashes like I pasted here. This is apparently wrong and the patch that's in the repository that people are getting pushed to them is not right. It should only have one slash between sbin and crda. Stil, though, no dice. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I encourage anyone wishing to recreate this issue to try what's outlined in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202834 I have tried just about everything I can think of and have searched all over to find people with a similar problem. It seems that the people having the issue is not a large group due to many using nm to configure their wireless. I do not want to install the ubuntu-desktop package on my server installation on my laptop (don't ask why i installed server on my laptop :P) -- [jaunty] Network Manager no longer sees wireless networks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/337076 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
