I have the same problem with nm-applet in feisty. Even then i disabled wireless networking it connects to an open wireless network. I checked the output of iwconfig and noticed that the wireless interface is transmitting. I then did a "iwconfig eth1 txpower off" and the problem is solved.
I thought the idea was to disable the transmitter so it is possible to use the computer in areas there it is forbidden to have any active transmitters. Have I got the idea wrong? -- network-manager insists on connecting to wireless network, even if wireless option is disabled https://launchpad.net/bugs/78491 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
