The problem is the line: Apr 4 13:40:36 g NetworkManager: <info> SUP: sending command 'INTERFACE_ADD wlan0^I^Iwext^I/var/run/wpa_supplicant0^I'
you _need_ to tell wpa_supplicant to use hostap, not wext. Sadly, ubuntu had a patch for this, but it has been dropped: + * drop driver specific tweaks assuming that wext should be fine for most drivers nowadays + - drop debian/patches/14-j-hostap-supplicant-driver.patch ... Getting the old diff from: http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/net/network-manager and apply the wpa_driver bit fixes the problem. Diff attached. I should say that this has only been tested on a _Debian_ desktop running 2.6.25. ** Attachment added: "nm.diff" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13958826/nm.diff -- Cannot connect automatically to access point when using hostap_pci https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/211780 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
