network manager reporting

[Siddharth Moghe]

Binary package hint: network-manager

hi,

i have a very stupid looking problem, the network manager wouldn't detect the wireless networks that is there at home. Also the icon shows up with a red cross even when there is proper Ethernet connectivity on it.

When i first loaded Jaunty, i was seeing two wireless networks as expected and i connected through pppoe as i usually do on windows, but on subsequent reloads - the network manager stopped detecting the wireless networks at home and even when there was a ip address assigned to the ethernet card, the network manager would report it with a red cross, but ifconfig from cli would show me the assigned ip address .

how do i see the networks with the help of network manager

Here is the output of some of the commands that could help

now that its connected thru iwconfig, it doesnt get connected to pppoe nor do they show up on network manager ( it still shows a red cross )

siddharth@novice:~$ lsb_release -rd

Whenever i connect through ethernet i expect the redcross not to be there, whenever i wish connect through wireless i expect the network manager to detect the available networks and then connect accordingly.

Siddhart: please delete the question mark from the command.
It should be run as following:
apport-collect 367307
