I sometimes have issues with the network manager when I'm at another (not my home) wireless access point. It'll keep searching and than I get the error message when it fails to find the AP.
I fix it by telling the network manager what AP I want to connect to. # sudo iwconfig wlan0 attwifi from a terminal usually does it. After that the network manager will connect in a few seconds. So I don't have to do the whole command line voodoo. Try it next time, see if it works for you. --Manny On Mon, Feb 16, 2009 at 2:22 PM, Jeff Lasman <jpli...@nobaloney.net> wrote: > On Monday 16 February 2009 02:06 pm, Joel Witherspoon wrote: > >> Jeff.
