Whenever I switch from wired to wireless interface, it takes more than 45 seconds to get the wireless interface enabled. Looking at the logs, seems the problem is (k)Networkmanager sends a DHCPDISCOVER before been associated with any AP:
Feb 7 18:03:58 vostro NetworkManager: <info> DHCP daemon state is now 1 (starting) for interface wlan0 Feb 7 18:03:59 vostro dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3 Feb 7 18:04:02 vostro dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7 Feb 7 18:04:09 vostro dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8 Feb 7 18:04:17 vostro dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 10 Feb 7 18:04:27 vostro dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 10 Feb 7 18:04:37 vostro dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 9 Feb 7 18:04:42 vostro NetworkManager: <info> Device 'wlan0' DHCP transaction took too long (>45s), stopping it. I'm not a network expert but, AFAIK, if you are not associated with any AP, there is no link so sending a DHCP petition makes no sense for me. Can someone explain me this behaviour? It's annoying having to wait almost a minute every time I want to use WiFi. Thanks. _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
