There are a number of bug reports for NM already. You can start with this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/291760
and the subsequent Gnome bug report https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=580185 I provided a patch to remove the offending background scanning behavior in NM (the patch is attached to both of those bug reports) but the NM guys still believe that background scanning is a Good Thing (never mind the problems it causes, and never mind that other tools like wicd that don't do background scanning work perfectly). The Gnome NetworkManager bug list also has several bug reports related to this scanning behavior, some people complaining that it doesn't scan fast enough, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=403245 some complaining that it scans too much. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600246 Personally I think this feature is an exercise in futility, and they really need to dump it and just go with manually invoked scanning. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=587796 But at this point, having sent numerous emails and samples of perfectly good code to them and being ignored, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=551747 I don't have much hope that they're ever going to see the light. Look at their bug list https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=product%3A"NetworkManager"+ it's got over 300 open bugs stretching back more than 3 years and they just ignore them. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #580185 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=580185 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #403245 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=403245 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #600246 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600246 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #587796 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=587796 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #551747 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=551747 -- ath9k disassociates/reassociates a lot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/414560 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
