-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi there!
I'm new to this list because I couldn't find any usefull answer to my question(s). But I found this thread and I now will try my luck again. :) So, here is my problem: I use Ubuntu and connect to an unencrypted/open network (WLAN) at my university. After that I have to use the Cisco VPN client (with username and password) to establish a functional internet connection *horribleiknow*. -> Since some weeks/months the WLAN connection is very unstable. Look at this two short parts of my log files (syslog & loop with iwconfig) I recorded to document the phenomena: 1. syslog - --- 8< --- Mar 7 15:17:03 axolotl wpa_supplicant[24391]: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=00:16:9d:44:84:e0 reason=0 Mar 7 15:17:03 axolotl wpa_supplicant[24391]: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=00:00:00:00:00:00 reason=0 Mar 7 15:17:03 axolotl NetworkManager[24388]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant connection state: completed -> disconnected Mar 7 15:17:03 axolotl NetworkManager[24388]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant connection state: disconnected -> scanning Mar 7 15:17:08 axolotl wpa_supplicant[24391]: Trying to associate with 00:16:9d:44:84:e0 (SSID='FH-Potsdam' freq=2412 MHz) Mar 7 15:17:08 axolotl kernel: [16391.948242] ===>rt_ioctl_giwscan. 3(3) BSS returned, data->length = 321 Mar 7 15:17:08 axolotl kernel: [16391.948849] ==>rt_ioctl_siwfreq::SIOCSIWFREQ[cmd=0x8b04] (Channel=1) Mar 7 15:17:08 axolotl NetworkManager[24388]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant connection state: scanning -> associating Mar 7 15:17:09 axolotl wpa_supplicant[24391]: Associated with 00:16:9d:44:84:e0 Mar 7 15:17:09 axolotl wpa_supplicant[24391]: CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 00:16:9d:44:84:e0 completed (reauth) [id=0 id_str=] Mar 7 15:17:09 axolotl NetworkManager[24388]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant connection state: associating -> associated Mar 7 15:17:09 axolotl NetworkManager[24388]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant connection state: associated -> completed - --- >8 --- 2. iwconfig - --- 8< --- Mo 7.
