Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager-gnome
In Ubuntu 10.10 if I have network-manager-gnome installed I can not make
wi fi connections. Network manager is incapable of making a wifi
connection, it reports connected but no data is delivered ie web pages
do not load etc. I have seen similar issues in earlier versions of
Ubuntu. WICD works fine on same machine.
Some extra information which might be of use is
WICD works fine but only if Network Manager is uninstalled. Even if Network
manager is not running (ie from start up WICD running and have not run network
manager, then WICD cannot connect to internet. Uninstall Network Manager and
WICD immediately starts working, even without a system restart, though I did
restart WICD. Ie Network Manager actively blocks the ability to make a wifi
connection.
BTW this is very reproducible. I also saw similar problems in 9.04, 9.10
and 10.04 LTS but did not know how to file a bug. However network
manager appears to be recently working on 10.04 LTS since i reinstalled
Network Manager to test it last week and in 10.04 it works, but not
10.10. indeed until last week when I re-installed it on 10.04 i have
never previously seen network Manager make a successful wi fi connection
and have always had to remove network manager and install WICD. This is
a serious problem since new users would simply give up when faced with a
non-functioning Network Manager, which has been my 100% experience on
fresh installs.
I am sure you will ask for some extra outputs, please tell me what to
type in the terminal and I will provide the information
