Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
I recently installed Fiesty Herd-5 on my Lenovo 3000 N100.
My wired network is handled perfectly by NetworkManager (the device is mapped
to eth0, detected and managed when connected and disconnected), but the
wireless connection isn't (device eth1).
The laptop has an Intel 3945 wireless card. The distro comes with a module for
it and it loads without a problem.
NetworkManager seems to recognize that driver, but does not manage it (as can
be seen using the output of NetworkManager --no-daemon):

I thought that maybe updating the kernel and ieee80211/ipw3945 modules will
solve the problem, but it didn't.
I'm currently using Kernel 2.6.20.4 (downloaded from kernel.org), ipw3945 1.2.0
and ieee80211 1.2.16. All of them load perfectly.
Also, the gnome applet doesn't show any option to scan for wireless networks
(ofcourse...).
I should point out, that after googling for some time, and not succeeding in
resolving this issue, I thought to try and add some configuration directly in
gconf, or gnome-keyring, so that NetworkManager's request from dbus will have
an answer ("nm_dbus_get_networks_cb (): error received:
org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo.NoNetworks - There are no wireless networks
stored.."), but unfortunately, I have no idea what to add and how to do it.
Can someone please help me?!?!
