Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
I am running kubuntu feisty on a thinkpad x60 tablet with an atheros
ar5212 wireless card. When I have the card handled by the ndiswrapper
driver, I see the "wlan0" interface in iwconfig and I can configure it
to connect to the network in the command line, but network-manager does
not offer any wireless interfaces to connect (nm-tool only lists my
ethernet card). For simplicity I have disabled encryption on my AP, and
I know that the ndiswrapper driver has working scan capabilities.
If, on the other hand, the card is handled by the madwifi driver
(ath_pci), I get an "ath0" interface which network-manager _will_ let me
configure. For unrelated reasons, however, I can not use the ath driver.
When I insert ath_pci, NM reports:
NetworkManager: <debug info>^I[1180586433.634518] nm_hal_device_added (): New
device added (hal udi is '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_00_19_7d_16_e9_0c').
NetworkManager: <debug info>^I[1180586433.635852] nm_hal_device_added (): New

NetworkManager: <information>^Iath0: Device is fully-supported using driver
'ath_pci'.
NetworkManager: <information>^Inm_device_init(): waiting for device's worker

started, continuing.
NetworkManager: <information>^INow managing wireless (802.11) device 'ath0'.
NetworkManager: <information>^IDeactivating device ath0.
However when I insert ndiswrapper, the only response I get from NM is this:
NetworkManager: <debug info>^I[1180586240.935494] nm_hal_device_added (): New
device added (hal udi is '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_00_19_7d_16_e9_0c').
