[Desktop-packages] [Bug 973241] Re: ipw2200 driver doesn't report any capabilities or wireless properties using the nl80211 interface to network-manager

2012-04-08 Thread Jools Wills
Looks like a patch that could go upstream too. if nl80211 reports no capabilities then try wext. and considering your list (appreciate your research here), it seems a good option. only recently nm added support for the nl80211 interface, so perhaps they are a bit ahead of the kernel in this respect

Sorry a misunderstanding then. When I posted in #49 I was referring earlier to the kernel not returning correct information about the hardware - then you referenced some patches and I assumed you meant they were a workaround (hence the comment about not having to git bisect).

since this device does support wpa, isn't a quick workaround to override what is returned until it is fixed in the kernel ? otherwise. Considering precise release date, this needs to be fixed else networkmanager is useless for anyone with one of these cards. -- You received this bug notification
