** Description changed: Binary package hint: network-manager I have an old Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 laptop which previously ran intrepid out of the box. In attempting to upgrade to a supported version of ubuntu, I have installed maverick. The wireless card no longer works under Network Manager. I have detailed my attempts to get this functioning on askubuntu.com http://askubuntu.com/questions/25133/how-can-i-configure-the-embedded- wireless-card-in-a-toshiba-satellite-pro-4600-to I have filed this bug under network-manager as according to the orinoco page on linuxwireless.org, a known issue of the driver is the necessity of using the ap_scan=2 mode when the driver is controlled via wpa_supplicant. The card can be made to work by manually configuring wpa_supplicant config files in this way, however NM does not use these traditional config files, and so the parameter must be passed to wpa_supplicant by NM, which appears to be impossible. Why this has evolved as a regression is not clear to me, however I'm sure someone with a better understanding of the wireless network stack could explain it.
