Hello,

I looked a little forward into the problem, and I concurr to the
following :

   The problem happens when racoon fails to create or maintain an ipsec
tunnel for securing a wifi network I use.

actually I do not really know if the problem comes from racoon, from
NetworkManager or from the madwifi driver or from gnome.

here are the facts :

racoon fails to etablish the tunnel because of a problem during the
"phase 1"

Dec  3 19:00:02 chameau racoon: ERROR: phase1 negotiation failed due to
time up. c647c6ccd3f63a21:0000000000000000

and then it messes everything up.

actually the error that racoon has can be fixed by resetting the wifi
connection (with NetworkManager for example)

but then the different questions I have are :

what makes that racoon fails, and that the ping command seems to be
failing as well (takes a very long time to return an error) ?

Why shall gnome get slugish when there is a problem with the network :
eventually this can result in the inability to do anything (even leaving
the session), wich is very bad for a user friendly graphic interface
(unless you want to mimic Windows in every aspect)

Does the fact that resetting the connection seems to fix the problem
mean that NetworkManager do not see that there is a problem with the
connection ?

If there actually is a problem with the connection, does it comes from
madwifi ?

Here are the syslog concerning racoon when there's a bug :
   

Regards
