Public bug reported: Since upgrade to Jaunty, I've been experiencing troubles with NetworkManager.
I'm using an iwl3945 wireless network card, that was working like a charm with Intrepid. Now, after upgrade to Jaunty, I have many disconnections of wireless connection : NetworkManager seems to disassociate the SSID by choice. This is a WPA EAP-TLS network. I haven't been experiencing this kind of behavior on a clear wireless ssid (at school). Once NetworkManager has lost the connection, it will retry several times to reassociate with the access point, often failing for around 5 minutes. Thus, it also regularly asks for the EAP-TLS configuration that it already has (just need to revalidate). Just killing and restarting NetworkManager allows for a faster reconnection process : as soon as NetworkManager gets restarted, it associates in a couple of seconds to the access point. Disconnections seems to occurs on a more-or-less regular time base : I experience disconnection each 3800-4000 secs. Roughly every hour. I checked using Jaunty LiveCD, and I still experience the issue, on the same time base. I already tried the linux-backports-modules-jaunty. No success. I even tried to upgrade iwl3945 firmware with latest available from http://intellinuxwireless.org, and no change. I also tried to switch on the 'proposed' repos, upgrade everything that was available (there were kernel updates inside), rebooted and still no evolution. This behavior is *really* annoying. ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Frequent Network Manager disconnections from WPA EAP-TLS network https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/377227 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
