Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
After a fresh Karmic Koala install, Network Manager is showing Wireless as disabled, and it is not possible to enable it. However the device does work with the kernel.
My workaround: install an /etc/wpa_
samv@maia:~$ cat /etc/network/
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
#auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
#auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
pre-up wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/
down killall wpa_supplicant
samv@maia:~$ cat /etc/wpa_
#ap_scan=2
#
# home network; allow all valid ciphers
proto=WPA
}
samv@maia:~$ sudo ifup wlan0

I just saw another amd64 machine show the same problem - network manager just not wanting to control interfaces, even hard-wired. Again I had to revert to /etc/network/ interfaces. The network manager daemon was running. I'm nominating this for release, because it seems serious to me.
