Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
I have a laptop “Lenovo IdealPad S12 (Intel)” Ubuntu 10.04 works perfectly fine on it. But 10.10 has some serious issues with wifi и ACPI, that is why I can’t use Mavrick.
I just installed Natty (beta2) on my laptop (/home has been left from my previous installation). It works better now - but I still see the issue with WiFi.
My wifi hardware is “Broadcom BCM4312”, driver - proprietary STA, latest version.

If I manually reload wl.ko module (using rmmod & insmod) then iwlist scan gives me a list of available wifi access points: http://
But Network-Manager does not show any access points. Here is more info about driver and Network-Manager:

Let me know if you need any additional information. I’ll be glad to provide it.

My guess is wpasupplicant doesn't see these networks either, probably because broadcom doesn't use nl80211. Could you try to configure wpasupplicant to run by itself and see if networks are seen in that case?
