Weirdness. In an attempt to assist with this bug, I changed the PSA key from hex to clear text in /etc/network/interfaces and it still manually connected (ifdown/up wlan1). I then removed the interfaces file, attempted to undo my previous changes to the nm-system-settings.conf but found Network Manager (the gui) insisting the device was now unmanaged. To try and restore a sane state, I did an aptitude reinstall network-manager. On reboot, Network Manager is now successfully managing my WPA connection. Would this have pulled down an update due to the aptitude reinstall network-manager? I can't get a version number out of network manager :(
Kernel: 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP ath5k (also using mac80211, led_class and cfg80211) Using XFCE gui /etc/network/interfaces now doesn't exist 'nm-system-settings.conf now contains simply:- [main] plugins=ifupdown,keyfile On first install /etc/interfaces did exist (but with only one or two lines - neither I recall being related to wlan1 - possibly loopback only?). Could totally removing this file have made any difference? I've since rebooted several times and on each Network Manager has done its magic. -- [MASTER 0.7 regression] atheros/madwifi and orinoco drivers not supported https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/259157 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
