2012, Ubuntu 11.10, still can't establish a reliable connection on networks with multiple APs. Immediately after connection dmesg states deauthenticated for reason 2 (authentication no longer valid). Network manager constantly prompts for password. No trouble establishing connections to single AP networks.
Consequence is I have to tether through my phone at most office buildings and universities. :( -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/111502 Title: network-manager unreliable with multiple APs Status in NetworkManager: Confirmed Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager Ubuntu 7.04 (PPC) Broadcom 4306 (bcm43xx driver) Network manager is totally unreliable when I use it at my University, where there are multiple APs. It drops the connection all the time, and when (more like if) it manages to reconnect it doesn't re-establish the lost VPN connection. I am trying to connect to this one wireless network, "central" - there is one AP on channel 1 and one on channel 11. It works fine if I configure my device manually through iwconfig to channel 1, maybe n-m tries to keep switching between the two or something, then occasionally it just randomly roams to a completely different network for no reason. This should be apparent from my daemon.log. All the APs are of similar strength, and as I said they work fine configured manually without n-m which has been a complete pain in the backside ever since it was included in Feisty.
