Bug Description
Binary package hint: nm-applet
Looks like I have the same problem as Bug #98709. Right now I'm using a WRV200 linsys router with WPA (AES-CCMP), MAC filtering (I'm positive this machine is on the list) and NO SSID broadcast. Network manager seems to see the network okay as it reports a consistent RSSI level however it just won't connect. The moment I turn SSID broadcast back on, nm connects no problemo. Ubuntu 6.10 with the nm package did not have this problem and I used the same wireless card.
I'm using a D-Link DWL-G650 for my wireless card.
