This workaround works for me: sudo rmmod ipw2200 sudo modprobe ipw2200 After reloading the module nm-tool immediately shows that NM is managing eth1, and after a while NM connects to the network.
On the other hand, restarting NetworkManager and/or knetworkmanager (without reloading the module) has no effect. -- Network-manager doesn't show any wireless network on ipw2200 https://launchpad.net/bugs/83637 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
