Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
hi,
i have a very stupid looking problem, the network manager wouldn't detect the wireless networks that is there at home. Also the icon shows up with a red cross even when there is proper Ethernet connectivity on it.
When i first loaded Jaunty, i was seeing two wireless networks as expected and i connected through pppoe as i usually do on windows, but on subsequent reloads - the network manager stopped detecting the wireless networks at home and even when there was a ip address assigned to the ethernet card, the network manager would report it with a red cross, but ifconfig from cli would show me the assigned ip address .
how do i see the networks with the help of network manager
Here is the output of some of the commands that could help
