Bug description [edit]
I have a strange issue with network-manager and bcm43xx driver.
On Dapper, network-manager chose the right (i mean the latest used) ESSID
automatically and connect upon login. In Edgy, network-manager won't connect to
the latest ESSID, until I type as root
# iwconfig eth1 essid any
After that, it joins the wifi network.
Don't know if it's a bug from the bcm43xx driver (don't think so),
network-manager-gnome.

Forgot something, also
After booting, and running iwconfig, the network card reports itself as
:
eth1 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:"xxxxxxxx" Nickname:"Broadcom 4306"
Mode:Managed Frequency=2.437 GHz Access Point: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Bit Rate=1 Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm
RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
The "1 Mb/s" part is the interesting.

Thank you for your bug report.
Can you please check if connection with a static ip address is possible
automatically on boot?
If so it seems to me as a duplicate of bug #64841 - a dhcp issue in edgy.

I don't seem to be having those problems in edgy (amd64), but I'm having an
issue where NM isn't able to make an ad-hoc network, nor it's able to connect
to one already established (by a Palm TX), even though it detects the network.

I also have this problem where I must do
sudo iwconfig eth0 ap any
for network-manager to work properly. This is with open network. When I set wpa
encryption I can't connect at all.
