Hello

I erroneously reported in #200952. Please bear with me, it was my first bug report!

Same problem here with Intel 3945 ABG. I am using an HP Compaq nx7400. The wireless button LED is on.

I am configuring a network with a given ESSID and WEP hex key using network manager. The AP is hidden, and since is our company's wireless network, I can't unhide it to test.

We have two cases here I am trying to isolate.

Case 1) Despite the interface gets a valid configuration (addresses for DNS servers and gateway are correct; interface IP, netmask and broadcast addresses are correct, too), I can't even ping the gateway (ping results in an "Destination host unreachable" error).

Case 2) the network interface doesn't even get a valid address

Doing a /etc/init.d/networking restart makes the wireless interface usable

Please ask me anything useful to solve this bug (files, command outputs...) and I'll be happy to help.

Ciao
