Public bug reported:
I'm running Gutsy Tribe 5. The network manager applet doesn't show a
connection, and indeed, it won't connect. But oddly, it does detect my
wireless network (and my neighbor's as well) - it just refuses to
connect to it. No amount of clicking on the network will persuade it to
connect. I do not have an ESSID, this is an open unprotected network, so
there should be nothing to configure. With Feisty, it connects
automatically.
I have another network applet (not included with Ubuntu) called Wicd
(see wicd.sourceforge.net). I installed it in Gutsy and it works - I can
connect without a hitch. So I conclude that there is nothing wrong with
the wireless driver, and that the problem must be with the network-
manager-gnome applet.
My hardware - I have one of those Dell laptops that comes with Ubuntu
pre-installed (Dell Inspiron 1420 N). The wireless card is Intel
Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG.
