Cannot associate to Linksys WRE54G range expander

[cleentrax]

Binary package hint: network-manager-gnome

I have an unsecured wifi network with a Linksys WRT54G router, and a Linksys WRE54G range expander.

Edgy will not connect to the network through the expander -- it will only connect through the router. I have tried this with three wifi adapters in Windows, and two wifi devices in Edgy. Windows can connect through the expander, which shows up with an SSID identical to the router's, but with a unique BSSID.

This appears to be a software issue, as the problem does not exist with the same hardware in Windows.

Can you give the results of an "iwlist scanning"?

Closing this bug as it does not have information for us to start working on it. It would help if you could test this in Gutsy. We'll only be able to address most network-manager bugs in the latest release. Please re-open if you can confirm this in Gutsy and can supply more information. Thanks.

I can confirm this in Gutsy using network-manager version 0.6.5-0ubuntu16.7.10.0

The network in question is mixed b/g using a linksys wrt54g v8 router and wre54g ver 3 expander.

Output of `iwlist scanning` is attached, edited to remove other networks detected. Judging by location and signal quality, cell 06 in the listing is the expander and cell 01 is the router, though connection strength indicates that I was only able to connect to the router.

what we need here is a complete syslog taken _after_ reproducing the bug. can you still reproduce and attach that info? Thanks!

I cannot reproduce the symptom on 8.10 and my hardware.
