Public bug reported: I have Ubuntu Karmic Daily-Live Sept 22 installed ( from karmic- desktop-i386.iso ) on Toshiba laptop with Atheros AR 5211 ab NIC.
It does connect to wired / WPA/WPA2 secured wireless network but not to an unsecured wireless network. It tries to connect for 2/3 minutes and then says (unsecured) wireless network has disconnected. Just updated (5:00 AM Pacific Sept 22, '09) using wired network but to no avail. On Sept 07, '09 I'd filed this bug report ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/426048 ) but its status hasn't even changed from 'new'. ** Affects: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Ubuntu Karmic Daily-Live Sept 22 with Atheros AR 5211 802.11 ab NIC Won't Connect to an Unsecured Wireless Network https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434612 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
