Title:
  [RTL8187SE] Network manager prevents all wifi connections

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: network-manager-gnome

  In Ubuntu 10.10 if I have network-manager-gnome installed I can not
  make wi fi connections. Network manager is incapable of making a wifi
  connection, it reports connected but no data is delivered ie web pages
  do not load etc. I have seen similar issues in earlier versions of
  Ubuntu. WICD works fine on same machine.

  Some extra information which might be of use is 
   WICD works fine but only if Network Manager is uninstalled. Even if Network manager is not running (ie from start up WICD running and have not run network manager, then WICD cannot connect to internet. Uninstall Network Manager and WICD immediately starts working, even without a system restart, though I did restart WICD. Ie Network Manager actively blocks the ability to make a wifi connection. 

  BTW this is very reproducible. I also saw similar problems in 9.04,
  9.10 and 10.04 LTS but did not know how to file a bug. However network
  manager appears to be recently working on 10.04 LTS since i
  reinstalled Network Manager to test it last week and in 10.04 it
  works, but not 10.10. indeed until last week when I re-installed it on
  10.04 i have never previously seen network Manager make a successful
  wi fi connection and have always had to remove network manager and
  install WICD. This is a serious problem since new users would simply
  give up when faced with a non-functioning Network Manager, which has
  been my 100% experience on fresh installs.

  I am sure you will ask for some extra outputs, please tell me what to
  type in the terminal and I will provide the information
