Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu/lucid when trying to setup a Verizon USB wireless air/card
connection on one of my older computers under NETWORK MANAGER, there are
only about 6 wireless ISP vendors listed in the available vendor listing
(Verizon is NOT listed).
If I try to setup a Verizon wireless connection under Lucid by MANUALLY
typing in the VERIZON vendor name and then adding the connection
parameters as provided by Verizon, the network connection will NOT work.
Always comes back with "GSM Network Disconnected".
On one of my newer computers using Lucid, sometimes the listing will
show maybe 15 to 20 ISP vendors and then on other occasions, it will
show/display only the first 6 vendors in the listing. On this newer
computer, sometimes there is a scroll bar on the right of the listing
window that can be used to scroll down to the vendors on the listing
after the first 6 or so, but on other occasions, there is NO scroll bar
to use to scroll down to the vendors after the first 6. All of this
problem is occuring on Lucid.
Like I said above on the older computer under Lucid the complete listing
of ISP vendors was never displayed. When I took Lucid off of that
computer and installed Natty instead from scratch, then the complete
listing of wireless ISP vendors is always available.
When I tried Nattay on both of my computers, ALL of the 15 to 20 ISP
vendors are on the listing including the lower ones on the listing can
ALWAYS be accessed by using the available scroll bar to scroll down to
the lower ones on the listing.
So apparently there is a problem/bug in Lucid as far as the proper
displaying of a complete listing of wireless ISP vendors but this
appears to have been fixed in Natty.
So my question is, if this has been fixed in Natty, why is the fix for
this not being seen in the Lucid version. YES, I have backports
checked.
Thanks.
