I use WPA-PSK (WPA personal) at home, and I've noticed anomalies. One of the big ones is that it keeps re-prompting for the passphrase (this is with Joyride 1438), and tearing-down the association. I looked at /var/log/messages while this was going on, and it seems like it starts the association logic, puts up the password prompt, and then times out the association attempt after 8 seconds--which typically isn't enough time to type in the passphrase! It turns out that NetworkManager has a wired-in 8 second timer for re-association attempts, and 20 seconds for initial association attempts.
I'm not sure how this seems to work OK on a regular Fedora system--which is using almost the same version of NetworkManager. It's possible that the password-prompting happens before we go into the timer-controlled region of the state machine--have we mucked with this at all? Is the password dialog one of our own, or just a standard one with Sugar decorations? _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
