Comment 11 for bug 269474

Sorry about the delay; I've only got one machine and it was tied up.

I ran Network Manager applet 0.7.995 from Ubuntu Karmic alpha 5 live-cd with 2 wireless cards enabled in hardware. It seemed to work OK. I also ran the applet with only the external card enabled. It seemed to be OK also, so I guess you can _mark this bug as solved_.

My installed system is Ubuntu 8.04 with network Manager applet 0.6.66 (I believe; I'm on the live-cd right now). It also seems to avoid the crash with SIGSEV in strlen(). It does not name the external card (Realtek 8187b) in the applet, calls it Unknown USB wireless (or some such.)

None of the applets are able to precisely direct one particular wireless card to one particular wireless router, in my experience, while connecting the other wireless card to a different wireless router. Or just as importantly, to disconnect one wireless card completely while leaving the other connected.

At the moment my work-around involves hardware - I go into BIOS to enable or disable the internal wireless card. I plug or unplug the USB wireless card. That does mean I have to completely shut down to change from external to internal or visa-versa.

Thank you for your time and involvement to improve wireless connectivity for all of us!
