Bug still present on saucy. Ubuntu network manager policy is not user friendly - Precise connected fairly quickly after power up to wireless WPA encrypted network. Nook connects immediately on power up to wireless WPA encrypted network. Chromebook connects immediately on power up to wireless WPA encrypted network. Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 connects immediately on power up to wireless WPA encrypted network.
What is the reason Ubuntu network manager changed their policy of connecting right away like all these other products? BTW, problem also occurs on my notebook and tower with Ubuntu only. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1017738 Title: NM fails to connect Wi-Fi; dhclient works -- Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000 iwlwifi Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: Wireless WPA fails to "automatically connect" even though "enable wireless" is on when rebooting. Systems Settings Network is blank where it should have the network name. That's a bug. Correctly says wired network is unplugged. Network Applet Edit Connections says wired connection last used 5 minutes ago. Has not been plugged in since yesterday. That's a bug. Network Applet Edit Connections says wireless connection last used 2 hours ago. Not true, last used 5 minutes ago. That's a bug. Selecting Network Applet Edit Connections Wireless Security tab should ask for pathword authorization to set/change password. It does not. That's a bug. What the Wireless Security tab does is just sit there for a couple minutes then (60 to 120 seconds) the menu appears. All the correct data is already there. Save, close. No changes made. Wireless WPA still does not connect even though it was running before reboot. "connect automatically" does not. That's a bug. Systems Settings Network still shows no network name while network applit edit connections shows the correct name. Why don't they both show the same network name? That's a bug. After 20 minutes, it suddenly does show the network name. Some time after that the wireless WPA connects. No new information was used. It already had network name, security type, and password when it rebooted. "cinnect automatically" does not. That's a bug. Any clue what to do to "automatically connect"? This is a "Regression" since Precise works very usably on the same hardware.
