When the connection drops out, I am unable to find my wireless network in the network manager applet. To see it again, I must first disable wireless in the applet, and then re-enable it (after any short interval), and the network will be easily rediscovered and reconnected to. Output of lspci | grep Network: 02:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR5418 Wireless Network Adapter [AR5008E 802.11(a)bgn] (PCI-Express) (rev 01) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect to a wireless network 2. Wait for any interval between 2 and 20 minutes 3. Connection drops 4. Disable wireless in the network manager applet 5. Re-enable wireless in the applet 6. Network Manager will reconnect with the wireless network; goto 1. Actual Results: The connection drops out regularly. Expected Results: The connection should persist. I tried setting the MTU manually, as this is suggested in several places online, but it didn't help. My Internet provider is AT&T. Please pardon the classification as a major bug if inappropriate. Constant Internet disconnects are inconvenient at best, but could be a major problem for large and frequent data transfers. -- 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.
