I'm marking this confirmed since now that you explained it, yeah, this
is exactly the bug I'm seeing.
** Summary changed:
- "Device is unmanaged" under "Wireless Networks". nm-applet is Disabled
+ Network Manager claims devices are unmanaged
** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: network-manager
-
- Basically the title is self explanatory. I can't connect to the internet
- using wireless using network manager. I have to use the terminal.
+ Network Manager's applet shows no connection. Clicking on it shows that
+ all interfaces are in "unmanaged" mode so that Network Manager has no
+ control over them. This occurs without the user making any changes to
+ the interfaces. User has not manually set the devices into unmanaged
+ mode. How to correct it in the Network Manager -> Edit Connections
+ dialog is unclear.
