[Bug 96532] Re: Wireless no longer works after upgrade
Last week, I was back at my friends place, where I happened to be when I originally upgraded to Feisty and reported this bug. I was surprised that Network-Manager immediately connected to the router there with no problems (without nm-applet running). I happily used my laptop for several days. At this location there were no other networks of any strength within range. I returned home, and tried to connect with my own router. No luck. It wouldn't connect to my router, but sometimes connected to the commercial wireless network in this area (Atria Networks). They use a web based login and are only free at the local libraries. Thinking that maybe the router was a problem, I changed to a Netgear router that I happened to have. Still no luck. Anyhow, after a couple of hours of fiddling today, I finally removed Network-Manager from my system and configured /etc/network/interfaces in the normal manner. I now can connect with no problem. It is clear to me that Network-Manager is alpha quality software that is not ready to be included in a stable release of Ubuntu. -- Wireless no longer works after upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/96532 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 96532] Re: Wireless no longer works after upgrade
Let's not assume NetworkManager is the problem. It's great you found a solution, but NM works pretty much perfectly in Fedora Core 6. So maybe it's a problem with Ubuntu's implementation/packaging of NM, dbus, or ? I still have a couple of systems running FC6 on different wireless networks, including the unencrypted ones I'm having trouble connecting to now -- at least I can connect easily to my WPA network, and it always works even after suspend. I'm not qualified with Ubuntu to determine the exact problem, but I'm glad that there is a solution for you and others. I'll be even happier when this problem is fixed, because I want to migrate my other machines to a working Ubuntu.

Re: [Bug 96532] Re: Wireless no longer works after upgrade
Sorry about this. I'm assuming you rebooted and didn't just rmmod/modprobe, I'm too new to Ubuntu to know which services should have been restarted to be 100% certain NM should work. You're tired of this bug, and I'm out of ideas :-( In any event, thanks for trying to get this working in Feisty, at least for the rest of us. I hope this gets some attention from Ubuntu devs, since I continue to get keyboard lockup (mouse OK, it turns out, but I also have issues shutting down after this lockup) when trying to connect to other, non-WEP networks. Otherwise NM/hostap is working flawless, including after suspend/resume. On 4/10/07, Acitta [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well, I tried the orinoco drivers. I still can't connect.

BTW, what happens when if you disable NetworkManager and try to connect manually by CLI? To be clear for others reading this thread, we're really talking about 3 bad behaviours that may be 3+ bugs in different processes: 1) Ubuntu defaults to have conflicting drivers (hostap, orinoco) for prism cards, user must blacklist one to use wireless 2) keyboard locks when using NM to choose a different network 3) NM doesn't connect to chosen network -- Wireless no longer works after upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/96532 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 96532] Re: Wireless no longer works after upgrade
Hmm, not good. I did a fresh install of Feisty Beta a week ago, and I have to say I've seen the keyboard lockup recently (perhaps the past few days) connecting to non-WEP networks. Actually, keyboard/mouse both lock, even the Gnome system monitor applet meters freeze. I've just moved over to Ubuntu from FC6 where I used to see this often, up until about December. Sounds like a regression in Ubuntu since Beta, not sure why I don't *seem* to get it using WPA. I don't recall any recent updates to NetworkManager, perhaps this is a dbus issue?

Re: [Bug 96532] Re: Wireless no longer works after upgrade
To help others who may have this issue, and to help developers debug it, I strongly encourage you to post that your initial results using my suggested fixes made at least *some* progress: Ok. That worked, partially. The NetworkManager applet now shows my router and several other networks. However, it doesn't connect. The applet spins for a while and then the laptop hangs. The keyboard is unresponsive. I have to remove the battery in order to reboot. This doesn't happen with a wired connection. At the very least, this gives developers some notion about what is or is not broken: kernel modules, hal, dbus, or NetworkManager. Please rework your comments above and append it to the bug report.

Re: keyboard lock-up using hostap_pci, this bug may be related: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/89464 It might be worthwhile trying to use the orinoco drivers instead of the hostap ones, even though the orinoco won't support WPA in NM (if at all). To do that, change /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist to include: blacklist hostap_pci blacklist hostap blacklist hermes #blacklist p80211 #blacklist prism2_pci (and remove any lines that blacklist orinoco, orinoco_pci drivers) Not sure about prism2_pci or p80211, I don't know enough about them. My hunch is that you'll need the former, and probably the latter.

Re: [Bug 96532] Re: Wireless no longer works after upgrade
Odd. I can connect to networks with no encryption, WEP, and WPA. What kind of wireless network are you trying to connect to? Oh, yes, then there is that other thing that I forgot to mention: The first time I connected to my WPA-protected network, although it *was visible* to NetworkManager (NM), I had to specify it: 1) left-click on the NM icon 2) select Connect to other wireless network (or was it Create new wireless network?) 3) specify the SSID, encryption type 4) if applicable, enter password 5) It failed to connect the first time, I think I had to then select it from the list of networks shown by NM, and it worked. 6) Supply a new password for the Gnome keyring, if first time using it 7) Subsequent logins were automatic, first prompted for Gnome keyring password, as well as on resuming from suspend (customizable with GConf, I believe) Let me know how that goes for you, and we can add the correct details to the bug tracker.

I have gotten it to work. Maybe it was working all along. However, the Network Manager applet shows no network connection. I also have Wifi- radar installed and it shows no signal. I saw in /etc/wlan wlan- udev.sh, so I ran it to see if it would do anything. I also ran ifup wlan0. Network Manger and Wifi-radar gave no indication that anything had changed, but i ran ping and was surprised to get a return. So I fired up Evolution and Konqueror (Firefox not working, another bug) and they are connecting fine.
