Now that I think of it, I am in the same situation right now (iwconfig shows the wireless interface, but ifconfig does not shows it). But for me this is just that I am not using it (I use manually a line like: sudo wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf followed by: sudo dhclient wlan0 to connect myself to the Internet).
And my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file looks like: ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=admin ap_scan=2 // might be 0 or 1 for normal people, I need it to connect to an hidden access point network={ proto=RSN key_mgmt=WPA-PSK ssid="publicid" scan_ssid=0 psk="secret_password" } That said, this file is supposed to be generated automatically by network-manager. I am a bit lost with the network-manager because I deactivate it (need to use both 56k and wireless). But as far as I know, there is still a bug that make wpa_supplicant not automatically starting wpa_supplicant. ... searching ... This is: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/44194 So, I think the situation you are facing is not a bug in the kernel... and I suggest you convert your bug in a question (upper-right link on this page above the word Milestone), where I expect you will get better support on how to manage your situation. If then they think that there is really a bug, feel free to reassign this as a bug on the appropriate package. -- [jaunty] Intel WiFi Link 5100/iwlagn not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/350370 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
