Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
On a fresh install of jaunty, my intel based laptop connected to my
wireless network perfectly. My acer aspire one, on the other hand, does
not connect without manual intervention. It is using the ath5k driver
which loads sucessfully, but the network manager applet does not "see"
that there is a wireless card (Enable wireless is grayed out) and I have
to configure the network by hand.
To configure the network I merely typed:
iwconfig wlan0 essid obstaclesgone_com key=somekeythatiuse
dhclient wlan0
It works flawlessly but refuses to configure with Network Manager. Need
any info.. just ask and I'll post it.
