I tried manually with iwconfig and dhclient to rule out NetworkManager, and confirmed it still happens. It seems setting the ESSID does not work correctly, only succeeding around one out of 5-10 times.
Here's a quick test command that I used: sudo killall dhclient; sudo ifconfig wlan0 down; sleep 1; sudo ifconfig wlan0 up; sleep 1; sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid Wippies ap 0A:1D:19:AE:D2:B5; sleep 1; sudo iwconfig; sudo dhclient wlan0 - When the ESSID is not set the command exits normally but dhclient gets no address. - When the ESSID is set correctly, dhclient gets an address and everything else works. ** Package changed: network-manager (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu) -- Lucid Beta 1 on Asus EEE PC 901 Fails to connect to any wireless network https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/545443 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
