Hi guys, Just in case it helps ... I was having the same problem and the best way I found to get over this situation was just to remove: #wireless-essid mySSID #wireless-key myWirelessKey
then reboot. After that the icon showing signal strength appeared in the quick launch bar. Clicking on it shows all available SSIDs. When I selected my one it prompted for the paraphrase I used when I set up my WEP KEY. After inserting it I was connected to my wireless network. I am running: $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 6.10 Release: 6.10 Codename: edgy Thanks, -Nestor -- Changing ESSID requires reboot or, or manual iwconfig for changes to take effect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/80499 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
