Re: really frustrating problem with NetworkManager CVS on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS

["Darren Albers" <dalbers gmail com>]

It seems like it is not able to communicate with WPA_Supplicant for
some reason.  Where is wpa_cli located?

Take a look at this link:
http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Network_Manager_with_WPA

Ignore the items about anything else except building Network-Manager,
it describes some changes you need to make to work properly on Ubuntu
but I am not sure that it has anything to do with you issue...
