Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
I am logging this in from work where I don't have access to the computer
in question.
The computer is running Feisty. It hasn't been updated yet (no network
connection). I am trying to set up a wireless connection for it to use.
Feisty was installed without the PCMCIA card being present.
Upon inserting the card, it is recognized as two separate interfaces
simultaneiously. NM, manual config, shows both WiFi 0 and eth1 as being
wireless. (eth0 is built in wired nic and is identified correctly). It
should only identify the card as one or the other (and I think Ubuntu
preferrs to use eth1 instead of wifi0). Regardless, it is reporting two
wireless devices when there is only one.
I have had this problem on a different computer that was installed. It
always saw the card as both eth1 and wifi0.
One additional note. I noticed in the network tools dialogue that it
was actually reporting four cards:
eth0 - internal wired
eth1 - wireless --- NOTE - only reports a ipv6 ip.
eth1:xxxx - wireless (note, I can't remember what the x is) This connection
has an ipv4 ip.
wifi0 - wireless
I have tired editing the 'interfaces' file, but that hasn't helped with
anything. For the life of me, I don't know why this is happening nor do
I know how to get around it.
