Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 8.10 rc (as of Oct 24)
IBM Thinkpad X31
Intrepid Ibex RC is not remembering wireless preference on restart.
It automatically searches for wireless network, but doesn't remember
which network I was using at shutdown, (which I believe is one of the
preferences it's supposed to remember).
On startup, it searches for wireless signal, then presents a dialog box
displaying a network (though not the last one used), and asking for
password (and this also has a bug in it in that the password field is
pre-populated, and wont clear. ie. when the dialog box opens, the drop-
down options shows WAP or personal or whatever, and the text-field for
the password is full of dots which wont clear through back-spacing, at
least not for the first 5 seconds. Placing the cursor at the end of
line, then hitting backspace returns the cursor to the beginning of the
line, leaving the pre-populated text-field intact instead of clearing
the field).
I bypass the problem by closing the pop-up dialog, clicking on the
network icon in the top panel, and selecting the appropriate network.
All is ok after that.
