Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
Hi, I have an IBM Thinkpad T23 with a IBM High Rate Wireless LAN Mini-
PCI Adapter with Modem (Prism 2.5 chipset).
In feisty, using the NetworkManager applet in gnome, I am unable to
connect to any wireless network, secured or unsecured. The networks
are listed, but I am unable to connect to any of them. I also cannot
connect using the Static configuration option (which is just the
network-admin program). However, after selecting my network, (or
setting the essid with iwconfig) and typing sudo dhclient I am able to
get an address through DHCP and connect to the network.
When I connect this way, the status of the NetworkManager applet does
not change (eg, it says "No network connection").
The results are the same if I use the hostap driver or the orinoco_pci
driver. I should note that NetworkManager does not work for me in
dapper either (it does more or less the same thing).
I should also note that in feisty, there are two devices listed for the
wireless card, wifi0 and wlan1, whereas in dapper there is only eth1 for
the wireless card (I think this is just some change in the kernel
though, apparently one is just the control interface, and the other is
the actual wlan interface, or something). I don't think it's a kernel
issue though, seeing as I can connect manually through the command line.
