Public bug reported: network-manager does not reliably associate my laptop's wireless card with an access point. About half of the time, it gets stuck in the two- gray-balls state; somewhat less often, it gets stuck in the one-green- one-gray-ball state (these both describe the icon in the notification area). It seems to have more trouble when there are a lot of APs in range, especially when those APs all have the same SSID (I use the laptop all the time on the UCSD campus, which has a blanket wireless network).
I'm filing this bug against network-manager instead of the kernel because it happens with both the Dapper and Edgy kernels as long as the Edgy network-manager is in use. This problem did not occur with the Dapper network-manager, or at least it happened sufficiently less often that I didn't notice it. I will attach the network-manager logfile. ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- flaky association with wireless access points https://launchpad.net/bugs/64931 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
