Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
Ubuntu Hardy. on macbook
connecting to wireless network (802.1X ) using the following options
TTLS
Dynamic WEP
PAP
username
passwd
There are 5 bssids for the different accesss points. It seems that as I accumulate access points, I can't get back on the network.
In this particular instance
doing iwlist ath0 ap
shows that I see two acess points (00:12:...) in the screen shot and that I have four bssids stored in my profile.
It seems that I cannot reconnect until I remove the 'old' bssid's from the profile. It seems like the wireless software is not making it through the list of bssids or something.
I have done this a number of times but I don't really know enough about how this stuff works to rule out coincidence ... i.e. maybe I just fiddle with stuff until the wireless is back on and I think I fixed it by my fiddling.
Any advice on making this report more useful? I will only be on this wireless network for another week or so.
screenshots of the bssid editor and iwcofig ath0 ap output follow.
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.
