Comment 11 for bug 269340

I updated to 8.10 Today (14/11/2008) and tried to enable my wireless again.
I have a broadcom card with the latest proprietary driver installed. (nice bit of desktop software the new 'restricted drivers' management tool)

several things I noticed
1. Network Configuration is now in System->Preferances not System->Administration.
2. Network Configuration does not ask for Authentication.
3. It doesn't work!!!

I ran nm-connection-editor from the command line to capture the output.

I clicked on the tab for wireless, then selected my profile "ifupdown(eth1)"
then selected 'edit'.
When the window popped up, I supplied a password for WPA (it never saved it correctly with Hardy before)
clicked OK.

And to finish it all off I get a dialog displaying this.

"Updating connection failed: nm-ifupdown-connection.c.82 - connection update not supported (read-only)"

Here is the output at the command line.

Hmmm, I get the same dialog whatever I try to do!!!!!!

It looks like a permissions problem, but running it 'sudo' doesn't make a difference.

Confused
