I tried to build NetworkManager from SVN tonight, to see if the latest version fixed this bug already:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=418065 >From this ChangeLog entry, it appears that might be fixed: ########## * src/nm-device-802-11-wireless.c: Fix wireless device scanning scheduler. The new algorithm is to start from SCAN_INTERVAL_MIN (currently defined as 0) and add a SCAN_INTERVAL_STEP (currently 20 seconds) with each successful scan until SCAN_INTERVAL_MAX (currently 120 seconds) is reached. Do not scan while the device is down, activating, or activated (in case of A/B/G cards).Remove some old dead ifdef'ed out code that used to configure wireless devices, it's all done through supplicant now. ############## However, I ran into some barriers trying to install the latest version. First, the website refers to CVS, when the latest code is in Subversion now: http://www.gnome.org/projects/NetworkManager/developers/ For me, the experience on Ubuntu when more like this instead: sudo apt-get install subversion gnome-common checkinstall svn checkout http://svn.gnome.org/svn/NetworkManager/trunk NetworkManager ( Checkinstall would have been useful for creating a package of the CVS version, but I didn't actually get that far ). It seems "gnome-common" isn't all that a vanilla system needs to compile this. I also get these failures from the autogen script on Ubuntu Edgy: checking for glib-gettext >= 2.2.0... testing glib-gettextize... not found. ***Error***: You must have glib-gettext >= 2.2.0 installed to build NetworkManager. Download the appropriate package for from your distribution or get the source tarball at ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.2/glib-2.2.0.tar.gz Checking for forbidden M4 macros... ***Error***: some autoconf macros required to build NetworkManager were not found in your aclocal path, or some forbidden macros were found. Perhaps you need to adjust your ACLOCAL_FLAGS? ############# If someone knows the extra steps missing, it would be nice to update the website to reflect them. ( And of course, I'm still curious to find a solution the frequent disconnect/reconnect bug!)
