I have a Sony laptop with the Intel 3945ABG network interface. I searched through google for a while and found a reference to network manager applet being the culprit. I installed wicd as recommended which removed nm-applet. I then had no connection problem to my WPA network at home with hidden SSID and MAC filtering using don't auto-connect. Now I load the wicd tray icon and select connect and it connects. I will also state that the connection seems to work faster the nm-applet in 7.10. I tried previously upgrading from a clean 7.10 to BETA and installing from the alternate BETA 8.04 disc.
Thought this might be of interest since installing wicd and no other ubuntu related linux module packages allowed the interface to work for me. At this point the LEDs do not operate like they used to (don't light up) and the restricted driver manager does not list the Intel interface like it did in 7.10. When switching to the new driver method supported by 2.6 kernels I thought I read that the proprietary driver is no longer needed, so I wasn't expecting it to be listed anymore but it would be nice to have the LEDs working. If someone needs more information about my configuration, let me know which pieces. -- No wireless for Intel 3945 in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195136 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
