At my college (Cal Poly, SLO), all the wireless access points use the same SSID, but each is on a different subnet. When I roam from one access point to another, my connection mysteriously breaks without notice... and thinks it's still up. It seems NetworkManager can't handle different access points with same SSID and different subnets. Another interesting note: these access points do not use NAT -- instead, it gives true internet IPs.
Here's one possible fix: on roaming to a different SSID, NetworkManager should try to ping the old default route / gateway..... and if it's not reachable, it should re-run dhclient. (Of course, you'd have to make allowances for gateways set not to respond to pings.) -- WiFi roaming causes NetworkManager to lose routing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201202 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
