Looking over launchpad last night I see basically the same bugs repeated over and over regarding specific wireless cards but I did not see this specific issue. I also looked at the patches and there are 9 patches applied to the base 0.6.3 tarball. I am not sure why Ubuntu is not at 0.6.4 but I think the maintainer may not have had the time between Dapper and Edgy. The patches seem relatively minor (Though I am probably not a good judge of that ;-) ) I can post all the patches if someone would like me to. Here they are in summary: Supplicant timeout patch: Increases the timeout when trying to associate to 60 seconds. dbus_access_network: adds the user haldaemon to Networkmanager.conf if_fix: adds #define _LINUX_IF_H resolvconf patch: changes the function nm_system_should_modify_resolve_conf to return false in src/backends/NetworkManagerDebian.c dispatch_more_events: Seems to add pre-up and post-down events to dispatcher.d Wasn't this always an option? Maybe what someone asked earlier about running a command before an interface is activated is possible with dispatcher.d with this patch? disabled_devices: This tells NM not to touch devices managed in /etc/network/interfaces rml_wpa_workarounds: Robert's "famous" wpa workarounds patch ;-) hostap-supplicant-driver: adds a workaround for the hostap driver dbus 0.9: Changes dbus_connection_disconnect to dbus_connection_close ? I saw in the release notes for Feisty beta (I forgot the catchy code name they used) that NM might be the default network management utility for Feisty so I think the testing period there will hopefully shake out any issues with their packages and maybe (hopefully?) will get some patches sent upstream. _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
