I have Dell Latitude D820, and since upgrading to Gutsy from Feisty, I couldn't even see the wireless network card under "System > Administration > Network". (it also could not find the ipw3945 driver by modinfo ipw3945)
As it turns out - I was always selecting the 386 kernel from the Grub boot menu. Now I tried the Generic (!) kernel, and the wireless connection works! It shows the available connections and I could connect to an unsecured network. The generic kernel is also mentioned at the original bug report of this thread. -- [Gutsy]Network Manager Applet can't connect wireless with ipw3945 driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/121439 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
