I'm in the same boat as Jason. I also tried using the daily PPA, but it didn't fix anything.
Installing wicd in parallel with network-manager, and making the small change to the interfaces file mentioned by rivode (comment #115) seems to be working so far. That will also be my workaround until this is fixed. Hopefully next time I'm at another office for a presentation/workshop I'll be able to connect to the wifi, actually stay connected and not drain my battery 3 times faster. If it helps I have a Dell E6500 with stock Broadcom BCM4322 wireless card and running Lucid 32-bit It's very frustrating that this issue still exists after a couple years of putting up with it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/291760 Title: network-manager roams to (none) ((none)) - background scanning Status in The Linux Kernel: Fix Released Status in NetworkManager: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “linux” source package in Maverick: Invalid Status in “network-manager” source package in Maverick: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager The network manager roames to a "none" bssid and back, this happens in more or less two minute intervalls.
