I'm seeing this as well, in ubuntu 11.04. Switching to wicd seems to fix the problem, so it must be an issue specific to network manager. After I restart network manager (/etc/init.d/network-manager restart) it seems to work briefly (a few seconds). Just long enough to connect to the network. Then it disconnects again and the syslog starts filling up again. Amazing that this bug has been around so long! Good thing there's wicd....

AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) that works (tries to) with ath9k module. It connects to my access point and works ok however, It disconnects every 2-3 min saying (in dmesg): [ 311.600306] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:1d:68:0c:97:63 (capab=0x411 status=0 aid=2) and then automatically reconnects... I have tried different drivers and other things.... Interestingly when I right-clicked on network manger applet, select ¨disable networking¨ and then set up everything myself on console using iwconfig and dhclient..... IT WORKS!!! no disconnections.... wpa_supplicant is still running in a background but not doing anything (my wifi has WEP encryption). I´ve seen some similar reports in Internet but they seem to think that it is a driver problem when to me it looks like a NetworkManager issue... Hope it helps.... drphd ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 CRDA: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Date: Sat Dec 12 19:42:18 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 IfupdownConfig: auto lo iface lo inet loopback InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release amd64 (20091027) IpRoute: 192.168.1.0/24 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.65 172.16.77.0/24 dev vmnet1 proto kernel scope link src 172.16.77.1 172.16.158.0/24 dev vmnet8 proto kernel scope link src 172.16.158.1 default via 192.168.1.254 dev wlan0 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: network-manager 0.8~a~git.20091013t193206.679d548-0ubuntu1 ProcEnviron: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-16.53-generic SourcePackage: network-manager Uname: Linux 2.6.31-16-generic x86_64 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/495981/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
