I have now seen a second case of this, the symptoms were sudden loss of network throughput but NM and the Netspeed applet both showed the connection still working. Reselecting my home SSID from the list in NM's left click menu resulted in an attempt to reconnect that never succeeded. On opening the WPA settings via NM's right-click edit menu the passphrase was blank. Re-entering it sorted the problem out. I see there is a new wpa-supplicant in updates-testing, do I need that too? I will restart with the updated NM and see if anything has changed. -- Brian _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
