Public bug reported:
The NetworkManager menu items have no effect when selected.
1. wired connection works.
2. __known__ wireless connections work.
3. __unknown__ wireless connections do __NOT__ work because they require that
I select the connection I want from the menu and there is no effect from
selecting menu items.
Specifically, when I click on the NM menu in the top menu bar (between
bluetooth and sound volume), I see the usual items
(wired network/disconnect/wireless network/disconnected/hot spot 1/hot spot
2/.../connecto to hidden/create new/vpn/enable/info/edit); and the list of the
available wifi hot spots changes with time and they become (un)available.
when I plug in a wired connection, I become connected to the internet
and this is reflected in the menu too.
however, nothing I do with the menu has any effect: I cannot
disable/enable wireless/networking; I cannot select the hot spot to
connect to &c &c &c.
The only thing I can do it kill the NM process which is then auto-
restarted.
I tried reinstalling all the network-manager-* packages to no effect.
