Network Manager works fine with two other USB wifi adapters that I have, neither use madwifi. Using network-admin or manually editing the config files for wpa etc to configure the Atheros interface works however.
Seems it's a problem with Network Manager talking to the madwifi driver. -- [madwifi] NetworkManager 0.6.6-0ubuntu1 fails to connect to wireless network https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199802 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
