** Attachment added: "Zero Strength Signal on Ad-hoc network" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28144576/Screenshot.png
** Description changed: Binary package hint: network-manager I'm having the following strange behavior (as in the attached screenshot) when connecting to a Windows Xp Ad-Hoc network: - - I get connected very well and everything runs smoothly but the network manager applet mostly display zero strength signal even if I'm 0 meters away from the Windows Xp machine - - Sometimes the signal indicator is rises to an approximately correct strength for 2-3 seconds and then returns back to zero, but the connection experience isn't interrupted at all (browsing, chatting, download ...etc) + - I get connected very well and everything runs smoothly but the network manager applet 99% of the time displays zero strength signal even if I'm 0 meters away from the Windows Xp machine. + - Sometimes the signal indicator is rises to an approximately correct strength for 2-3 seconds and then returns back to zero, but the connection experience isn't interrupted at all (browsing, chatting, download ...etc). The above behavior happens always with me when using the ath5k driver when compiled on Hardy or when using the default one on Jaunty on two different laptops (Thinkpad T60 and Acer Aspire One ZG5). The Atheros card on the Thinkpad is Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01), but I don't know the model of the card on the Acer one. Please note that the above behavior didn't occur while using ndiswrapper or madwifi on the same machines (although ath5k is much better in nearly all aspects) I'm using Network Manager 0.7.1 from the PPA for Hardy (8.04) and the latest ath5k from linuxwireless.org (compiled by me) while using all default packages on Jaunty (no PPAs or anything), and all packages are up to date. -- Zero Signal Strength when connected to an ad-hoc network https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/389922 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
