None of the 'fixes' and workarounds work reliably, including mine. On booting the connection is established and works for a while but then decides to quit. Once that happens, I can restore it sometimes using one or the other of the suggested solution. Simply re-booting appears to be the best of them all.
By the way, I had similar problems with another OS and kppp. In that case, a .pid file was left behind upon closing or losing the connection. No new connection could be made without first erasing this .pid file. Seems to apply to this situation also. I managed to connect after erasing all .pid files related to wireless. Hope this gets fixed soon. It is mighty inconvenient. It also makes me think about going to another OS without this problem.. -- wireless assisant does not connect in edgy https://launchpad.net/bugs/64841 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
