This bug is still there. Here is a test case, but can also happen if low signal strength or some radio noise.
Take a modern cellular phone and connect the wireless radio (wlan) from the computer to the phone. When connected walk away from the computer and put the phone where it is unreachable. NetworkManager puts up a requester asking for the password and it won't dismiss itself. Sometimes you accidentally enter some letters and press connect and you can't connect to your wireless network to much you try. This has happened several times for me. It is very annoying. Better would be if there is a notification (right top of screen) telling that the password is incorrect and that there is a menu in "system/preferences/network connections" giving the option to set a password. It will retry the same connection if it becomes available. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/322387 Title: network monitor doesnt retry connection after waiting for password for too long To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/322387/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
