Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager

I'm using Ubuntu 8.10.
After installing updates from proposed yesterday, I cannot connect anymore to my wireless network at home. My configuration:
Router: Zyxel 2602HW
Wireless card: Intel 2200BG (driver: ipw2200)
Wireless network: WPA Personal (TKIP)
I did not try other networks, as they are not available (I'm not allowed to connect to my neighbors)

Before the updates, connecting was no problem.
apt-cache policy network-manager

Hmm, after a reboot I can connect again. I will report back if the disconnection is happening often or was only 'bad luck'.

It was just 'bad luck': I only could not connect once. So, we can close this bug report :-)!
