Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
I find this very frustrating since I had this working a couple of days ago using the same laptop, key, and router. Now it doesn't connect.
This is for network-manager 0.6.6 -0ubuntu5 on Hardy Heron. I am using a T61P laptop. According to lspci, this is the wireless controller I am running:
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61)
The network manager icon shows two computer screens. It does not show the 4-bar wireless icon. I right click on the icon and select "Edit Wireless Networks..." I can see two SSIDs. My old one and my current one. I select the current one and select "Show password". It's a long hex key. My key is alphanumeric; it's not hex. I paste my key in and press Set Password. I select the 'X' to close the dialog box. I uncheck "Network Enabled" and recheck it. The two-screen icon remains.
I check "Manual configuration..." and I can see wireless is enabled on my new SSID. However, the wireless still doesn't work. As far as I can tell I am not doing anything wrong. I am attaching my /etc/network/
Wired networking works fine.
Should I upgrade to the beta to test this issue? Is it reasonably safe? Can you upgrade easily between beta releases?
