I killed NetworkManagerDispatcher and nm-applet. There was no process NetworkManager.
I ran the commands: # iwconfig wlan0 essid ANY # watch "iwconfig wlan0 | grep Access" I watched for 10 minutes, wlan0 did not associate itself with an access point. Then I ran this, and manually reconnected: # killall dhclient ; killall dhclient3 ; rmmod iwl4965 mac80211 cfg80211 ; modprobe iwl4965; modprobe mac80211 ; modprobe cfg80211 ; sleep 1 ; ifconfig wlan0 up ; sleep 1; iwconfig wlan0 essid ESSID-OF-AP ; dhclient wlan0 Then I added this comment :-) -- [iwl4965] [Gutsy] wireless-connection not ready on start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133397 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
