Description Edmund Nash 2007-10-23 23:14:47 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

knetworkmanager loads at startup and will connect to APs when selected manually.  However, upon reboot, knetworkmanager 'forgets' the association and one must manually select the network again.  There doesn't seem to be a way to do the equivalent of Windows XP's 'Automatically connect to preferred wireless network.'

Please note this is not the same as bug#144725 or other similar bugs.  knetworkmanager runs at startup, and there is no problem connecting to the AP when selected manually.  It will even remember the WEP key.  It just won't connect automatically!

This problem is specific to knetworkmanager. If I configure the connection manually via modifying /etc/network/interfaces, I don't see the problem.

It's not an issue with the card, as the problem occurs on two wifi cards with completely different chipsets (rt2500 and prism54).
