Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
After a fresh Karmic Koala install, Network Manager is showing Wireless
as disabled, and it is not possible to enable it. However the device
does work with the kernel.
My workaround: install an /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file and running
wpa_supplicant manually from /etc/network/interfaces
s...@maia:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
#auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
#auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
pre-up wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B -s
down killall wpa_supplicant
s...@maia:~$ cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=users
#ap_scan=2
#
# home network; allow all valid ciphers
network={
ssid="MyNetwork"
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA

key_mgmt=WPA-PSK

}
s...@maia:~$ sudo ifup wlan0
