@ Tony Espy This is absolutely a regression and absolutely should be released to the standard repositories.
RE: Furthermore, the case outlined here is not the typical use case, as NM should automatically re-connect a hidden network that's been previously connected. It may not be the "typical" use case, whatever that use case is, but it seriously breaks basic, essential functionality in other use cases, like mine. Automatically re-connecting to networks is no good unless there is only one network in range that you have ever used. I work at a place where the secured intranet is hidden, but there is also an unsecured visitor network that is visible. With my laptop I have to reconnect at hourly as I move between meetings (different access points) and my desk. With this bug, the network manager always connects to the unsecured visitor network, which is useless to me. To work around it I had to lock in the Jaunty version of network manager, which is semi-broken with the Karmic network applet (can't edit existing network connections), which prevents me from getting security updates for these packages, and which also downgrades the bluetooth code. -- Connect to Hidden...select Saved Secure Connection; Connect not possible https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/446394 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
