I have also found the same problem in Debian Etch 4.0, now installed on the same system. Clearly this problem is not specific to the Ubuntu port.
For that Debian distro, I'm now using NetworkManager 0.6.4 quite successfully, instead of wlassistant, for wi-fi connections. - Peter -- wlassistant reports "Could not launch menu item" when starting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190528 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
