After switching to wicd I was able again to connect to networks successfully. Might I also say that I am using a Intel Corporation Wireless WiFi Link 5100 and it would fail to connect with network- manager.
Maybe this is a larger issue then originally thought. It will be interesting to see if other wireless drivers are also affected as it seems to be some sort of problem with network-manager. -- [Karmic] Intel Pro/Wireless 3945BG (driver: iwl3945) disconnects frequently at random https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/429035 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
