Public bug reported:
When I set my wireless router (Linksys WRT54G) to channel 1, it shows up
in the drop-down list of available networks. However, many other
companies in the same building as me have their routers set to channel
1, so I prefer to run my router on another channel (e.g. channel 7) to
minimise interference.
When I change the broadcast channel my router's SSID no longer shows up
in the available list of networks. If I choose "connect to other
wireless network" and enter in all the appropriate settings, I can
connect to my router, it then shows up in the available networks list
with a signal strength of 88%.
If I reboot my laptop, however, I have to go through the above procedure
again... unless I switch the router back to channel 1, in which case it
suddenly shows up in the list of available networks again.
