Public bug reported: I am using Kubuntu Oneiric, updated to the latest version. I use plasma-widget-networkmanagement to connect to wifi networks. If I have already connected to a network in the past, the system is unable to connect to it again. Clicking on a 'known' network silently fails without any error, and a red cross appears on the wifi symbol in taskbar.
To resole the issue, I need to go to "Manage Connections" -> "Wireless" -> and delete the entry for the wifi network I'm trying to connect to. rohan@ubuntu:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu oneiric (development branch) Release: 11.10 rohan@ubuntu:~$ apt-cache policy plasma-widget-networkmanagement plasma-widget-networkmanagement: Installed: 0.9~svngit.nm09.20110610.0c83d8-0ubuntu4 Candidate: 0.9~svngit.nm09.20110610.0c83d8-0ubuntu4 Version table: *** 0.9~svngit.nm09.20110610.0c83d8-0ubuntu4 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Expectation: Past networks should work out of box.
