Some more information... I just connected to my WEP encrypted access point, after trying for days. Now I can't connect again.
Now I'm having trouble connecting to the non-encrypted access point as well. This is actually typical of my experience with NM... extreme flakiness. I'm having trouble getting to the root of the problem because the symptoms seem to change at will. The fact that it's flaky connecting through my a/b/g card is consistent though. Another thing I have noticed, is that when it has a hard time connecting, it seems to scan all available bands the card has to offer, it jumps from 802.11a to 802.11g, and back. It tends to spend more time on the 802.11a band for some reason, even though I do not have any 802.11a networks anywhere within range.... weird. ---- I just tried a little something, based on my last observation... that NM seems to force the driver into the 802.11a band a lot ... Stumbled onto a page that mentioned this might help... % iwpriv ath0 mode 3 I'm no expert, but isn't this a driver specific command? I tried this, and I was immediately able to connect to my AP and the my neighbor's unsecured AP. It still seems that NM is somewhat flaky even with this setting, since it seems to want to jump to my neighbor's AP when I explicitly tell it to connect to my AP. After selecting my AP a couple of times, it seems to finally listen and connect to my AP, however. -- A bug between Atheros Communications AR5212 802.11abg nic and Ubuntus network applet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/111068 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
