Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: yelp
in Gutsy, the network manager is unable to switch between wireless and
wired network connections. if i boot up in wireless mode (as per
settings just prior to last shutdown), then the OS will happily work in
wireless mode, but if i either plug in an ethernet cable or disable
wireless functionality, the network manager is unable to switch over to
wired - it ignores it completely, and my selection (radio button) isn't
changing from wireless to wired.
on the flip side, booting in wired mode (wireless disabled just prior to
shutdown) lets it work fine in wired mode. strangely enough, unplugging
the cable and enabling wireless DOES let the manager switch over (though
it takes a minute or so, and needs to log on to the network twice to get
it all sorted), but once again it refuses to revert back to wired mode
if i disable wireless and plug in a cable.
this functionality was smooth and also very quick in Feisty.
laptop used is a gateway mx8711, with a broadcom card (same as in dell
1390), set up using the ndiswrapper scheme that is common on the forums.
