I have the same kind of problem on a MacBook Pro. With edgy, all is ok. Network Manager handle perfectly the wired and wireless connections, even with WPA. :)
Now, because I have some problems to do recording with the microphone, I'm trying to use the feisty kernel with the edgy installation. So, I updated kernel to the last feisty kernel (package linux- image-2.6.20-12-generic, version 2.6.20-12.20) and linux-restricted- modules-2.6.20-12-generic (version 2.6.20.3-12.11) for the ath_pci wireless card. Just updating the kernel cause the Network Manager no more working. It says in the try "No network devices have been found". Now, I have the two kernels installed, so: - if I boot with edgy standard kernel 2.6.17-11-generic (from package version 2.6.17.1-11.35), Network Manager works correctly, - if I boot the same installation with the feisty kernel 2.6.20-12-generic, Network Manager just says "No network devices have been found". I will be happy to make more tests if needed. -- [feisty fawn] NetworkManager reports incorrect online status https://launchpad.net/bugs/82927 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
