Hi Jerry. Thanks for the bug reports. You could be even more helpful if you would split your information up into distinct issues. For each issue, search the existing bug reports; if you find that the issue has already been reported then add your information there, otherwise open a new report for that issue.

There have been a few reports recently of NM taking a very long time at startup to start working. Shall we make this the topic of the present bug report (#1017738), that it takes twenty minutes for NM to show ESSIDs? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1017738 Title: NM fails to connect to wireless WPA -- Quantal 25 June To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1017738/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
