[Bug 85468] Re: NetworkManager finds wireless network, does not connect

[bedfojo]

I can also confirm this bug as a regression in Feisty from Dapper.

I am running an Acer 3613WLMi laptop with the Broadcom 4318 chipset.

Under Dapper, using ndiswrapper and the Acer bcmwl5 driver, I could
connect first time and quickly to my home WPA network.

Under Feisty, on a cold boot, network-manager tries to connect but fails
and times out. If i keep selecting the network in network-manager,
eventually (after 2-3 times) I can connect. Connection is fine
thereafter.

The same problem occurs if I use the bcm43xx driver with the Acer bcmwl5
file and fwcutter.

Rather frustrating and almost enough to get me to reinstall Dapper!
