Package: network-manager Version: 0.6.5-3 Followup-For: Bug #448306
I confirm this bug and I was able to fix it. Please refer to http://madwifi.org/ticket/70 The solution was 2-step: Create a file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-networking-ath0.fdi with: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="net.interface" string="wifi0"> <merge key="net.interface" type="string">ath0</merge> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> And create a file in /etc/modprobe.d with 3 lines below: (I wrote them in /etc/modprobe.d/local) alias wifi0 ath_pci install ath0 /sbin/modprobe ath_pci; /usr/local/bin/wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta remove ath0 /usr/local/bin/wlanconfig ath0 destroy; /sbin/modprobe -r ath_pci Now it works for me. I have not restarted the computer yet. I made /etc/init.d/hal force-reload and removed all ath_* modules and then called modprobe ath_pci. But I think it's gonna work when I reboot anyway. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages network-manager depends on: ii adduser 3.105 add and remove users and groups ii dbus 1.1.1-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii dhcdbd 3.0-1 D-Bus interface to the ISC DHCP cl ii hal 0.5.9.1-6 Hardware Abstraction Layer ii ifupdown 0.6.8 high level tools to configure netw ii iproute 20070313-1 Professional tools to control the ii iputils-arping 3:20070202-2 Tool to send ICMP echo requests to ii libc6 2.6.1-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-3 1.1.1-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.74-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgcrypt11 1.2.4-2 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libglib2.0-0 2.14.1-5 The GLib library of C routines ii libgpg-error0 1.4-2 library for common error values an ii libhal1 0.5.10-2 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libiw29 29-1 Wireless tools - library ii libnl1-pre6 1.0~pre6-5 Library for dealing with netlink s ii libnm-util0 0.6.5-2 network management framework (shar ii lsb-base 3.1-24 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii wpasupplicant 0.6.0-4 Client support for WPA and WPA2 (I Versions of packages network-manager recommends: ii network-manager-kde 1:0.2-2 KDE systray applet for controlling -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
