Hi,
not really, i was hopping for an update... but nothing so far. However
I've just updated network-manager on another computer with a completely
different hardware, and the exact same issue occurred :/
So given that it happens on three different platform, I'd say that
something is wrong with network-manager...
I tried your fix and it worked for me, replacing wlan1 by wlan0 (iface
created by network-manager for me). Thanks a lot for sharing this.
I couldn't find any reference to this issue on google though. Are we the
only two pple affected :o? The fix you used isn't really trivial...
Thanks again for sharing the fix,
Regards
