[Bug 767423] Re: Network manager does not show available access points

 

Same problem here, in Oneiric. The weird thing is that it yesterday my
laptop was working fine, and today it doesn't; I moved from Helsinki to
Saint Petersburg (Russia), but the software configuration is unchanged.

When I boot natty from the same laptop, it works (I can see the list of available networks and connect to it).
The manual process described in comment #2 worked for me as well (after stopping network-manager).

Title:
  Network manager does not show available access points

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: network-manager

  I have a laptop “Lenovo IdealPad S12 (Intel)” Ubuntu 10.04 works
  perfectly fine on it. But 10.10 has some serious issues with wifi и
  ACPI, that is why I can’t use Mavrick.

  I just installed Natty (beta2) on my laptop (/home has been left from
  my previous installation). It works better now - but I still see the
  issue with WiFi.

  My wifi hardware is “Broadcom BCM4312”, driver - proprietary STA,
  latest version.

  If I manually reload wl.ko module (using rmmod & insmod) then iwlist
  scan gives me a list of available wifi access points:

  But Network-Manager does not show any access points. Here is more info
  about driver and Network-Manager:

  Let me know if you need any additional information. I’ll be glad to
  provide it.
