Public bug reported:
I recently upgraded to the new Hardy beta, and the upgrade went
smoothly. However, when I rebooted, my wirless networking seems to be
broken. When I look inside the manual configuration in nm-applet I see
the following items:
Wired connection (eth1)
Wired connection (eth0)
Wired connection (wlan0_rename)
Point to point connection
All of the Wired connection tick boxed are ticked. I don't see any
wireless networks when I click on the applet icon, and if I right-click
there is no Enable Wireless option, just the Enable Networking option.
If I left click the icon I just see a Manual Configuration... option.
iwconfig says that eth0 and eth1 don't have wireless extensions, and
wlan0_rename does seem to have wireless there, but is not associated
with an access point and has no essid.
The only other thing that might have affected this is that I had vmware
installed and the kernel modules did not load due to the new kernel (the
modules were built for the gutsy kernel), but I have uninstalled vmware.
Also, I know there was a HAL update shortly after the beta was released
- I am running 0.5.11~rc2-1ubuntu2
The machine is a Dell M1330 with the Intel graphics and wireless.
Interestingly, in Gutsy I needed a restricted driver for the wireless,
but restricted manager says I don't need any restricted drivers.
