Simmilar for me: It only appers with Ubuntu 12.04 Beta. But it would be really announing if this bug would ship out with 12.04 LTS.
The bug does not apply on all wireless connections. For me the connection was a "eduroam" network (roaming network in the education and research area in whole Germany). In order to connect to the network, you need to configure a "WPA & WPA2 Enterprise Security" with a "Protected EAP". In order to do so, it schould be possible to edit the connection, which is currently not possible. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager-applet in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/951464 Title: Wireless connections in network-manager-applet not editable Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Right-click on the network manager applet --> edit connections On the tab wireless is the current network shown, I'd like to connect.
