SUCESS !!! the newest release of NM 6.6.ububtu5 seems to work as it should, I do not see any issues so far.....however I am seeing a big problem with the signal strength. I have placed a repeater 12 inches away from this client and can only get less than 50% signal strength at 36 to 46 MB connection speed. This is a clear cut issue with 8.04, I can take this same exact setup and run 7.10 @ 100% signal strength with a full 54mb connection established.
on a different note now that this connection seems resolved for me...I have attached a screen shot of some very contradictory indicators about the wifi connection while it was still having problems: there are several indicators in this screen shot, half say I am connected to the net, half say I cannot be connected at all. NM shows full connection strength while there is no IP data displayed while system monitor shows IP traffic, yet firefox can't connect to the net.................
