I have the same problem only I can configure the network manually without deactivating the device first. The network I'm connecting to is not encrypted, though. The relevant error message from daemon.log seems to be:
Feb 18 18:53:15 benw-desktop NetworkManager: <information>^IActivation (ra0/wireless): association took too long (>60s), failing activation. I'm attaching a snippet of my daemon.log. ** Attachment added: "network manager messages from daemon.log" http://librarian.launchpad.net/6466298/daemon.log -- rt2500 in feisty: problem & solution https://launchpad.net/bugs/78037 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
