[Bug 858587] [NEW] [Kubuntu] [Oneiric] KDE Network Management forgets that it knows how to connect

[Scott Testerman]

Public bug reported:

Network Management in KDE magically "forgets" that it knows how to
connect to an access point.  For reference the AP in question is using
802.11n only, with AES encryption only.  All other networking types and
encryption types have been disabled in the AP, which is functioning the
same as it did in Natty.

Now, in Oneiric, Network Management will connect successfully, but then
after logging out or rebooting, it will no longer connect and instead
shows the Red Circle with Slash icon.  Opening the widget still shows
the correct access point listed, but attempts to click it to connect are
futile.

The workaround is simple: click the Manage Connections button, delete
the access point, and create the connection again.  Connection is
immediate, as expected.  This behavior is the same with both the open
source Broadcom driver and proprietary Broadcom STA driver.
