Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
The newest update of network-manager, which apparently reverted
something, doesn't work on my IBM ThinkPad Z60t. It worked perfectly
since at least Herd5 release, but suddenly I get no wireless networking
at all and it refuses to see the atheros-based interface (ath0).
My /etc/network/interface looks like this:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto ath0
iface ath0 inet dhcp
wireless-essid SULLIVAN
nm-tools now only shows eth0 and the drop-down menu on the network-
manager-gnome applet shows only "Wired Network" (which is grayed out)
and Static configuration. The Network Settings dialog (which I haven't
had to use previously) shows that the "Wireless connection" is checked,
the Essid is set to SULLIVAN and the Address is set to dhcp, but I have
no network. Unchecking it and checking again (restarting it) does
nothing.
The output (I have to retype this) for ifconfig ath0 is:
ath0 Link encap: Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:CE:01:1B:A3
inet6 addr: fe80::216:ceff:fe01:1ba3/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
[...]
The RX/TX, collisions, etc. are all zero.
There's also an ath0:avah with an IP address in the 169.254.* range.
This is very frustrating. Network manager has *never* worked for me, but
suddenly in Feisty it worked fine. Right up until a week before release,
when it suddenly breaks again.
