Bug description:
I am trying to create a new wireless network (particularly, with no
encryption) with the gnome applet. However, I just get the message
"Trying to connect to wireless network «(null)»". Then, after a
couple of minutes or so, it gets back to the cabled connection and no
wireless connection is created.
I am using Gutsy, network-manager 0.6.5-0ubuntu16.7.10.0 and network-
manager-gnome 0.6.5-0ubuntu11~7.10.0.
Updated description: The original reporter used ipw2200, but for that driver
a bug has already been reported for this isse: Bug #75358.
This bug now addresses users with mac20811-based drivers, since the majority
of the commenters have such cards/drivers.
The bug has persisted in Gutsy, Hardy, Intrepid and even Jaunty RC...
