RE: Ubuntu Breezy / Problems Compiling

["fratus" <fratus free fr>]

Dan,

Thanks for the heads up. I had the same problem as Thomas, and removed
references to those calls. Network Manager 0.5.1 compiles fine now, but the
application is unable to detect any of my network devices now. The NM-applet
shows the right version number (0.5.1), but I get the "No network
connection" icon and my nm-applet contextual menu only shows only these
items:
- Greyed "Connection information", 
- Greyed "Help",
- "About".

Do you have any idea on what may cause this?

Thanks in advance,
Hugues

There is no workaround.  Right now the code that references this isn't
actually being used, but in the very, very near term it will be, and it
will be required to use wireless extensions > 19 so that we can support
WPA.

If you really, really want to get it to work, look at the bottom of
NetworkManagerDevice.c and remove the stuff dealing wpa_ie and rsn_ie,
and also the bits of code that reference IW_EV_POINT_OFF (but keep the
'else' clause after the IW_EV_POINT_OFF check).
