Package: network-manager Version: 0.6.5-1 Severity: important
Since upgrading network manager to 0.6.5-1, the gnome applet fails to recognise the wireless network is connected on boot. Because it doesn't realise the connection is active, it never requests a DHCP address. The little wireless light indicates that the laptop is associated with the AP, and iwconfig confirms this, but the n-m applet has the spinning logo that indicates it's trying to associate. Running "ifup wlan0" will cause the laptop to grab an address and I can use the network as expected, but n-m never realises the connection is active. Sometimes if I manually tell the laptop to disassociate (by using iwconfig to change the ssid to something that doesn't exist) then n-m will manage to reconnect to the original AP and then start the DHCP process. The AP is unencrypted and uses MAC address locking. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-jh (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages network-manager depends on: ii adduser 3.105 add and remove users and groups ii dbus 1.1.1-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii dhcdbd 3.0-1 D-Bus interface to the ISC DHCP cl ii hal 0.5.9.1-5 Hardware Abstraction Layer ii ifupdown 0.6.8 high level tools to configure netw ii iproute 20070313-1 Professional tools to control the ii iputils-arping 3:20070202-2 Tool to send ICMP echo requests to ii libc6 2.6.1-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-3 1.1.1-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.74-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgcrypt11 1.2.4-2 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libglib2.0-0 2.14.1-3 The GLib library of C routines ii libgpg-error0 1.4-2 library for common error values an ii libhal1 0.5.9.1-5 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libiw29 29~pre22-1 Wireless tools - library ii libnl1-pre6 1.0~pre6-5 Library for dealing with netlink s ii libnm-util0 0.6.5-1 network management framework (shar ii lsb-base 3.1-24 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii wpasupplicant 0.6.0-3 Client support for WPA and WPA2 (I Versions of packages network-manager recommends: ii network-manager-gnome 0.6.5-2 network management framework (GNOM -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
