[edgy] Does not detect ipw2200

[Khashayar Naderehvandi]

Binary package hint: network-manager

lsmod | grep ipw:

ipw2200 114852 0
ieee80211 34952 1 ipw2200

sudo /usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon:

NetworkManager: <information> starting...
NetworkManager: <information> eth1: Device is fully-supported using driver '8139too'.
NetworkManager: <information> nm_device_init(): waiting for device's worker thread to start
NetworkManager: <information> nm_device_init(): device's worker thread started, continuing.
NetworkManager: <information> Now managing wired Ethernet (802.3) device 'eth1'.
NetworkManager: <information> Deactivating device eth1.

There's nothing about eth0 which is my wireless. The wireless works fine though, manually, with good old command line 'iwconfig'. It just doesn't show up in nm-applet. I'm pretty clueless as of what other information to give. So pray tell.

EDIT: sorry, I forget: This is in Edgy.

I have experienced the same problem on Edgy Knot-3. And you are right about this bug when it runs with ipw2200. I have downloaded latest cvs NetworkManager and run it but still experienced the same bug, it seems to me more like bugs of NetworkManager rather than bug of Ubuntu.

$sudo /usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon
NetworkManager: <information> starting...
NetworkManager: <WARNING> nm_dbus_init (): nm_dbus_init() could not acquire the NetworkManager service as it is already taken (ret=3). Is the daemon already running?
NetworkManager: <ERROR> [1158570946.044629] main (): nm_dbus_init() failed, exiting. Either dbus is not running, or the NetworkManager dbus security policy was not loaded.
NetworkManager: traceback:

This is the result when i ran with gdb

Can you take a look at bug 59981 and let me know if that helps?

[Khashayar Naderehvandi (khashayar)]

Didn't help here. NM still finds only wired connection. I should probably do a clean install and try again...

[Scott Robinson (scott-ubuntu)]

Ok, the standard set of questions:

1. Did you remove the interface lines from /etc/network/interfaces? If not, do so and give it a try.
2. Can you attach the results of a "lshal" to your follow-up response after trying #1?

[Khashayar Naderehvandi (khashayar)]

Removing the lines from /etc/network/interfaces makes it work fine now. (Using the patched hal-package). Thanks :)

[Scott Robinson (scott-ubuntu)]

The hal patch is released, an the /e/n/i fix solved the issue. Closing.
