I have noticed that auto-ip does start and it able to configure the interface and connect to the multicast group. I can even use avahi- discovery to see the available services.
However Network Manager still pops up a dialog asking for a new password. If I leave it alone I can continue to use the network through auto-ip, but if I enter the password or click cancel the interface is reset and I lose the connection while I wait for it to time out again. Why does this happen? How can I stop Network Manager asking for a new key when the one it has is clearly working? -- network manager disables wireless if dhcp times out https://launchpad.net/bugs/84103 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
