Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
Seemingly arbitrarily, network manager will, instead of detecting my
ipw2200 as being a wireless card, decide that it is instead a wired
network card, and therefore fail to detect wireless APs or any similar
behavior.
Repeated toggling of the Enable Networking checkbox on nm-applet will
eventually resolve this.
When it occurs, it sees the card as being an ipw2200, recognizes the
driver as ipw2200, but claims it is a Wired Networking Device. iwconfig
still thinks it's a wireless card, of course, and I can even associate,
DHCP, and do various network tasks over my "wired" ipw2200 whenever this
occurs, presuming that I continue to DHCP whenever network-manager
decides it's going to assign a 169.X.X.X address to my "wired" card.
** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu)
