nm-applet is how the problem manifests itself; I'm presuming that the problem is really in NetworkManager.
All of this is in runlevel 5. Release on Fedora 10 is NetworkManager-0.7.0.99-5.git20090326.fc10.i386 The system in question does networking _only_ via a USB-connected wireless adapter. The driver for the device has a problem resuming, so it must be unplugged before hibernating the box. All of this is with the router up and running. The sequence of events is as follows: o Unplug wireless adapter o Disable networking (via nm-applet) o Hibernate o Power off o Power on => resume o Plug in wireless adapter once resume is completed At this point nm-applet shows no networking (white X in red box). Here's the problem. Sometimes nm-applet has the Enable networking, sometimes not. Sometimes just passing the mouse over the icon will start the search process, sometimes not. Sometimes clicking enable networking will result in success (connection to the router), sometimes not. Sometimes it will prompt for the key and that will result in a connection. Unplug - plug in of the wireless adapter usually works. Thanks for reading this far! So, is there a recipe for getting the connection every time, without all this fooling around? _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
