Public bug reported:
This bug was only introduced in recent updates to intrepid and didn't
happen in any release, hardy or below. When I try to connect to a
wireless network I have to attempt several times, sometimes taking 20
mins plus, before I can connect. The network has no password and a
hidden SSID (not good security I know but I have my reasons) and when I
try to connect nm-applet shows the "Requesting network address" stage
then after about a minute of trying it tells me the connection failed.
Sometimes it does connect and when it does all works fine, it is just
very temperamental when it comes to connecting. I dont think this is a
hardware issue as I never had this problem prior to Intrepid and all
works as it should on the Hardy live cd. I cant seem to connect using
iwconfig and dhclient like I used to either so perhaps this is a driver
issue?
When trying to use a manual IP address its the same kind of gamble,
sometimes the connection would work fine however other times it says
it's connected and pinging the router returns 'device unreachable'.
I have attached the output from 'NetworkManager --no-daemon' when it
doesn't connect if that helps? Anything else that might help I can
provide.... just let me know.
