Confirmed on Manjaro with b43. I slowly loose hope with this. The launchpad bug doesn't seem to attract too much attention. It's 'hotness' is only 12.

It seems the bug has been marked as confirmed by the bot but no other info has been posted.

EDIT:
And here's how it went on Fedora :/...

- took it back home : couldn't connect to any wifi

Please stop saying 'thank you'. I feel bad. You've helped me with a second computer already! :)

I didn't start the thread so I think the option is simply not available to me.

It's alive! Thank you very much!

I went for just these lines in interfaces:

# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

It may be that I broke the...

In post #10 I wrote that even when nm-applet starts it does not list any networks. A popup says 'offline mode'. iwlist shows networks in the terminal, the applet doesn't.

Edit:
When I used...

Sorry for rushing you like that but could you by any chance drop me some new trail?

I always run with ethernet cable disconnected. Can't remove the card as it is a netbook.
