Comment 16 for bug 129608

Ooops. Too quick on the "Save" button. Continuing...

Apply the attached patch (note the directory). This neither fixes the Connect/Disconnect button state nor causes the connection strength to be reported properly when connected. I will investigate these too.

Does someone know if setting the wireless mode is supposed to work when the interface is up? Seems unlikely.

It would be helpful if a few people with other chipsets reported here whether changing the wireless mode works for them when the interface is up/down. Do (as root) 'ifconfig wlan0 [up|down]; iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed'.
