Hi, I'm using NetworkManager on SuSE 10.1 with the madwifi driver.
I occasionally get messages such as these (from wpa_cli): > <2>CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys <2>Trying to associate with 00:13:10:43:3b:42 (SSID='berrier' freq=2462 MHz) <2>Association request to the driver failed <2>Associated with 00:13:10:43:3b:42 <2>WPA: Key negotiation completed with 00:13:10:43:3b:42 [PTK=TKIP GTK=TKIP] <2>CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 00:13:10:43:3b:42 completed (reauth) When I use NetworkManager and this happens, network manager disconnects and reconnects, flushing evolution, firefox, gaim, and dhcpcd, as well as shutting down all my vpn connections. When I use the traditional ifup/down method and the above disconnect happens, there is a network hiccup, but after about 15 seconds my services continue to work, making me think a full reconnect is unnecessary. Maybe a timeout period could be lengthened or specified to give enough time for wpa_supplicant to try to recover before restarting all the services? What triggers the disconnect in nm? The CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED message from wpa_supplicant, or the inability to reach the gateway? In either case, it seems that it would be better for nm to wait 10 or 20 seconds to see if the connection comes back up, rather than to restart the world. Comments?
