I just tested this on a 9.04 system ( Atheros / ath9k driver ), and a 9.10 system ( latest updates, BCM4312 / wl driver ).
On both systems, I connected to our office WPA-Personal AP, opened a terminal and started a ping command to a known server, and then walked out of the office until I started seeing "Network unreachable" messages from ping. Shortly thereafter, the applet would start to spin... If I walked back into range, NM would re-connect to the AP, and the pings would resume. If I waited more than minute after the applet started spinning, then NM would timeout, and the applet would display the KeyRequired dialog. Walking back into range and entering the key again would connect as expected. The only difference I saw between 9.04 and 9.10 was that the Key / Passphrase was pre-filled for 9.04, whereas it was blank in the 9.10 case. -- Wireless disconnects and doesn't reconnect. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/458290 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
