Bug Description
Ubuntu 8.04, nm-applet 0.6.6, linux 2.6.24-17-generic #1 SMP Thu May 1 14:31:33 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
The information provided by the "Connection information" info-box is not in concordance with that provided by dmesg (see attached screenshot).
In fact the wired network connection is active (eth0 at b44), but the information says that the driver in use is b43 (i.e. the Broadcom wireless that is actually present in the system, but not used).
To post a comment you must log in.
Confirmed, seems to be an issue related only to Broadcom drivers.
However, the bug in my case is slightly different - I actually use the b43 driver, but the Connection Information window doesn't show what the driver is at all(see attached screenshot).
