I have confirmed that this bug is tied to NetworkManager. I downgraded to Ubuntu 8.04, installed the latest STA Linux Broadcom driver from the repositories, and the NetworkManager included with 8.04 worked flawlessly with the STA Linux driver.
The only difference was that Ubuntu 8.10 uses a newer version of NetworkManager than 8.04, so that has to be where the bug is. As a side not, I installed the latest version of Fedora 10 and experienced the exact same bug with the newest NetworkManager and STA Linux driver. This appears to be a NetworkManager issue, not a driver issue. -- [broadcom] Network Manager Not Displaying Signal Strength https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/291936 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
