Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
Seems there`s no way to configure the wireless network with an fixed IP,
attached to my laptop, In Ubuntu there`s a possibility to edit the
configuration manually, and after WPA pass key is entered,
enabling/disabling the interface, then entering the password again it
works. But not in auto mode - it tries to get an IP from DHCP like it`s
the only kind of situation. This is when i`m running the 8.04RC liveCD.
On my installed 8.04 beta (upgraded to RC) there`s another problem -
network manager doesn`t seem to create the /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file
and put the link to it into .etc/network/interfaces file, thus the
wireless network won`t start on reboot even if it worked after manual
setup. After set up properly by editing these files wireless works, but
not managed anymore with NM.
The nm-applet doesn`t show any wireless networks, nor manually
configured, nor the ones network-manager detects. It`s seems to be
totally useless.
On Kununtu 8.04 rc even the manual wireless configuring wasn`t working.
If I set ip on wlan0 to fixed it still fails to conect after trying to
get an IP from DHCP.
