Title:
wireless takes long time to find networks
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in wpasupplicant package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
On a Dell Studio 1737 (laptop) with Ubuntu Maverick, linux
2.6.35-25.44, it takes about 25 seconds from the wireless being turned
on to being able to find wireless networks. This is really annoying
when coming out of suspend, as I have to wait what seems an eternity
before I can get online.
I can repeat this bug in two ways: either suspend/resume, which, as
best I understand, shuts off the wireless on suspend, then brings it
back on resume, or just use the wireless switch on the side of the
computer to turn off wireless, then turn it back on. (I think it also
does this on bootup, but because I have to spend some time in GDM and
then waiting for login to complete, I know of no way to check the
time.) Either way, the wireless takes only a second or two to come
up, as evidenced by NetworkManager's 'Enable wireless' checkbox become
active, but I have to wait 25-26 seconds before NetworkManager can see
/any/ wireless networks (there are two in range of the computer).
I also tested this with the latest daily mainline kernel
2.6.38-999_2.6.38-999.201101261132, and the problem also exists in
this version of the kernel.
