Between Ubutnu 7.10 and OS10.3,there was no difference in NetworkManager versions.Both were 0.6.5.Even then this difference existed.
It is not only the NeworkManager version which could make a difference here but also wpa_supplicant, dhcpcd or dhclient, the driver etc. Nevertheless I do not understand how you measured the time nm-applet and KNM needed to bring the connection up. The first attempt using nm-applet starts at 18:17:00 and is finished at 18:17:12 => 12 seconds whereas the dhcp-request takes 6 seconds The first successful connection using KNM starts at 18:48:22 and is finished at 18:48:38 => 16 seconds whereas the dhcp-request takes 10 seconds ==> The DHCP request makes the biggest difference and that is nothing KNetworkManager can control. That even depends on your networks latency and workload. (In reply to comment #5 from Parameshwara Bhat)
Interestingly,each time I logged into Ubuntu,my wlan was connected.Each time I logged into Opensuse,knetworkmanager was not connected.
The first auto connect failed due to NetworkManager not being able to start wpa_supplicant. That's not KNetworkManagers fault either. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
