It's the same problem with ath5k and seem that happen with many others wireless cards. Isn't a Ubuntu problem, in Archlinux i have the problem too.
The problem is easily reproducible: You connect to a network, then disconnect, and finally, try to connecting again. Wicd just say: "Unable to obtain IP Address" There is a workaround (rough-and-ready) if you reload the kernel module of the wireless interface with rmmod (or modprobe -r, it's the same) and then modprobe. This is the reason because many of you have to reboot the computer, but just need reload the module. In the bugtracker of Archlinux (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18011) they say that is a kernel problem, i don't know. But that i know is that other networks manager don't have this problem just with wicd. ** Also affects: linux (Arch Linux) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed ** Changed in: linux (Arch Linux) Status: New => Confirmed -- iwlagn - Wireless network disconnects and won't reconnect without reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365321 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
