Reassigning to 'plasma-widget-networkmanagement' since that's a UI issue specific to KDE: what seems to happen is that the function called by that click is possibly a simple "Bring down", rather than "Disconnect"; which will then trigger autoconnection again. The implementation of that UI button should be verified against the API documentation for NetworkManager.
Since this may have been fixed in a later release, would it be possible for you to try the same thing on a LiveCD of the current development release of Ubuntu; Precise Pangolin? You can learn more about it here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/TechnicalOverview/Beta1 ** Package changed: network-manager (Ubuntu) => plasma-widget- networkmanagement (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: plasma-widget-networkmanagement (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: plasma-widget-networkmanagement (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- 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/801951 Title: Disconnecting a wireless connection in Network Manager repeatedly reconnects it Status in “plasma-widget-networkmanagement” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Please look at bug 780040 and my comment https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/780040/comments/7 there. I had to install mainline 2.6.37-6 kernel on my Natty to get wireless working. However, what happens is that once wireless gets working, I can't turn off the wireless by clicking on the red X in the KDE network manager applet. If I click that button, it disconnects but immediately reconnects. To stop wireless I have to stop it either by unchecking the "Enable wireless" box or by throwing the hardware switch. Please fix this so that I can turn off wireless by clicking the red X button. Thanks.
