Yes, it is a patch. Steps to reproduce:
- configure a permanent connection to a WEP-encrypted AP. - the AP has very good signal quality, and is 99.9% of the time available. - only sporadic short 1-2 seconds interruptions of the beacon. - one or two other APs have very poor signal quality, and enter/leave the live list often. after some days/weeks/months the wifi connection breaks, and the network manager does no longer see the AP, although the iwlist wlan0 scanning sees it at 99.9% of the time. That status lasts until either network manager is re-started or the AP is shut down for 10 minutes and then started again, at that time the AP is visible again. I am 100% sure that this has an impact on other users too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1181964 Title: Wireless connection does not re-connect To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1181964/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
