Title:
Internal and USB wireless conflict on laptop
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Ubuntu 8.10.
In Network Manager I have Intel Pro Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] and
Belkin F5D7050 v4000. The built-in wireless card is useless more than
about 6 feet from the router, so I need the USB receiver.
Sometimes Network Manager picks up a weak signal from the built-in
card.
The problem is that Network Manager occasionally shows the signal from
the built-in card as very strong (even though the laptop has not
moved.)
Network Manager then tries to connect to the router via the built in
card, prompts for a password and reports that the computer is
connected when it isn't. Network Manager then seems to try connecting
via the built-in and USB wireless simultaneously, with two requests
for passwords and 'connected' messages when there is no connection.
Network Manager then sometimes crashes completely.
I could disable the built-in wireless card from the Windows partition
in Ubuntu 8.04, but in 8.10 this results in 'Enable Wireless' being
greyed out.
To summarise the bug: the signal strength indicator for the built-in
wireless card is occasionally reporting a very strong signal which
does not exist. Network Manager does not seem to be able to handle two
signals from the same router (one from the built-in card, one from a
USB receiver) successfully.
Maybe that's two bugs?
I've attached a screen shot which shows Network Manager reporting a
100% signal from Intel Pro Wireless- when the laptop was 9m from the
router, and an accurate reading would be ~5% signal strength at best-
and both the Intel Pro Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] and Belkin F5D7050
v4000 buttons 'on', just before problems arose.
