Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
On Gutsy in Tribe-3 I can not connect to an open access point with NM. I worked with you on IRC (I'm calc). I am including the daemon.log for the test.
Also note that using /etc/network/
iface eth1 inet dhcp
wpa-driver wext
wpa-ssid vinther
does not work either.
I can run dhclient eth1 and it works though. So it might be an issue with wireless-tools or wpasupplicant instead of network-manager.

To post a comment you must log in.
It appears the problem was what you thought it might be... that wireless-tools is too old and out of date for the kernel api.
I tried wireless-* foo in /etc/network/ interfaces and that worked fine. I also tried using wpa-driver ipw and that was enough to make it work. But when using ipw driver it gave me some ioctl errors since it wasn't the proper driver to use. If I didn't specify the driver (it uses wext) or specified wext it would never obtain an ip address.
