This bug still shows up in 7.10. At best, it's only partially fixed. The problem may lie in the fact that using the network-manager tool in administrator mode from the admin menu appears to behave differently than when using the tool from the network icon locaed in the upper right corner of the screen.
To test this, I setup the system to work with a secure WEP network in location A. I saved the settings as a location. The network functioned properly. I then went to location B and set up the network settings and got it working and saved that as a different location. I returned to location A and attempted to connect using my previous settings. The location was there, but the password appears to be clobbered. Another anamoly I noted is that the configuration shows two wireless cards when I only have 1! The card in use was a Netgear MA1401 on my Toshiba Satellite laptop. The way I would expect the tool to work is to set up the each network as a location and have the system scan for the network and apply the appropriate key and seamlessly connect to the network. If two or more networks are available, I would expect to be prompted for which network to connect to. Another difference between the two tools is that the administrator's version does not allow showing the password as it's being typed in, whereas the one on the upper right corner does. I am not sure that roaming works properly regardless of whether I check or uncheck the box in the configuraiton screen. -- WEP Key for one SSID carries over to all SSIDs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67788 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
