I've the same problem but I know that this happened after a connection was established. Netapplet let me set up the key and save it. It request a password for the "ring" which I don't know what is do with it.
After that a have in /etc/network/interfaces iface eth1 inet dhcp wireless-essid paco wireless-key ??????????? I'm able to scan manually using wpa_supplicant, I don't know if network- manager use it Does exist a method to remove all wireless configuration and start again? This is the 2nd time I get this error, the first one it was solved removing all userÅ› configuration files but it does not work again :( -- network-admin doesn't scan for networks [regression] https://launchpad.net/bugs/59159 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
