Re: Ubuntu, NM, nm-applet, bcm43xx and acerhk on Acer Aspire SOLUTION (partial):
What also works is the following (on Ubuntu Dapper, up to date packages): 1) Boot up with NetworkManager, nm-applet and acerhk running 2) Disable networking from the right-click nm-applet menu 3) run this: sudo modprobe -r bcm43xx; sudo modprobe bcm43xx; echo 1 > /proc/driver/acerhk/wirelessled 4) Enable networking from the right-click nm-applet menu 5) It goes as it should. ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

I wonder if locking the BSSID makes sense? It has other benefits, too -- e.g., security.

What seems to happen is that iwconfig shows that it continues hopping even if wpa_supplicant (and NetworkManager for that matter) are not running. So, I think it's the driver. But I don't know that it's consistent across all drivers. --Pat ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

I don't think it should; but this may be affected by ap_scan value. In any case, we shouldn't consider roaming by the driver as association loss, and neither should wpa_supplicant.
