The root cause - from what I understand - was that DHCP failed when negotiating with the router. I enabled static IP for my laptop's MAC and it now connects.
Why that should cause weird behavior in network-manager (like 'connect' button greyed out, as pointed in the bug) is beyond my understanding. Just as a data point, when dynamic IP was enabled, the laptop would not connect to the router with wicd too. Could it be a router problem? DHCP works just fine on wired ports. -- Cannot establish wireless connection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/450097 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
