[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#525181: Bug#525181: network-manager: simply doesn't work for WLAN

Sat Apr 25 08:36:24 UTC 2009

Hi again,

Here we go.

Log from a clean boot this time. (End of this message)

That's everything I could find in syslog after boot relating to nm and WLAN 
(stuff relating to eth0 has been removed, wired LAN works just fine.)

Also:
+++
$ grep -v ^# /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
+++

As you can see in the screenshot, the "Enable WLAN" checkbox is greyed out 
(at least the text next to it is, the theme is not ideal on the checkbox 
itself :-) which agrees with the log messages from the nm daemon (that's why 
I didn't file the bug on the GUI widget.)

And a 'sudo iwlist wlan0 scan' shows my network, and, after editing 
/e/n/interfaces, "ifup wlan0" works just fine.  So the messasge in the log 
about WLAN being disabled by killswitch is clearly bogus :-(

So, bye for now.

cheers
