I have been able to duplicate this issue. eee-pc 1000 Ubuntu 8.04 LTS with Gnome Desktop [eee-ubuntu] Now know as "easy cheesy" ack! Network Manager 0.6.6-0ubuntu5.8.04.1 Network Manager gnome 0.6.6-0ubuntu3
I have used nm-applet on my eee-1000 for the past 6 months with out an issue. Network Manager was always set to roaming during that time and I had never used the Network Manager interface until a couple days ago. Was at work and required setting up eth0 to a static IP to jump on our private network, so I opened Network Manager and decided to create a "default" profile with everything set to roaming, then went on to turn off the wifi to save battery, setup a static IP on eth0 and saved it to a profile name that I could associate with the location. When I switched back to the default profile, I get the same error and nm-applet seems to not be able to see any APs, just manual setting is available. While set to my work profile, messages show up in dmesg that would have lead me to think the driver had failed to load. A bit more digging and I knew something else was the problem. After deleting the profiles in Network Manager and rebooting, I could again see wireless AP in nm-applet but not connect. When I setup my wireless in network manager, it provides a drop down of all the available access points, selecting mine I still have to enter the wpa key instead of it going to the keyring like I assume it should (don't know as I have never used the Network Manager gui before). Switching to roaming I still get errors that it can't retrieve a key using nm-applet. If I enter the Network Key in the Network Manager gui, it picks up the network fine with manual config. If I set it to Roaming again, it does not retrieve the Network Key from the keyring. The key for me to reproduce: Save a profile in Network Manager with the wifi turned off. Turn the wifi back on and the only option nm-applet will give is Manual configuration. Remove all Profiles in Network Manager and reboot. You can now see APs but network key is not retrieved from keyring. Only manual wifi config works. I have not found the fix yet but hopefully this helps and the attached log of the whole process will light a bulb. ** Attachment added: "Tail of logs, and dmesg" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/22576059/nm.log -- NetworkManager: <WARN> nm_dbus_get_network_data_cb(): message arguments were invalid (could not deserialize wireless network security information. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205964 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
