It seems that I'm also affected by this particular problem on my old Hp Omnibook XE2. I've got roaming mode enabled and network manager applet sees wired connection, but never connects to it right away after boot. I must manually choose wired connection, to receive ip address. My network card is 3c589D pcmcia.
I include my lspci below. ** Attachment added: "lspci -vvnn" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10377480/lspci.log -- network-manager should stop managing any interface configured in /etc/network/interfaces https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139403 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
