Comment 19 for bug 208306

Well, apparently it's not as fixed as we'd like. I just installed 8.04 beta yesterday on my laptop (previously running 6.06 and connecting to my non-SSID-broadasting wireless with no trouble), and was unable to connect. I found this bug report, so I plugged in a cable to the router and upgraded all packages to the current versions (including network-manager-0.6.6-0ubuntu5). Unfortunately, I'm still getting the exact same results as shown in Gene's screen shot (two posts above). the tray icon shows me connected w/ 97% signal strength, but connection info shows I have no IP address, and I am unable to use the network. Is there something I'm overlooking here? (Oh, and I just tried connecting to some non existent network with a total nonsense name and it still shows I have 97% signals strength for that one too :p)

My wireless is using WEP (it's an old Toshiba router and that's the only security mode it has).

Please let me know what I can do to help pin down this bug so we can hopefully get a fix before release.
