https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=398532 Summary: NetworkManager will reconnect to a wireless provider without asking Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: RC 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jharmon@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- In RC1 of openSUSE 11.0 there were some changes to NetworkManager that cause it to disconnect from the wired WAN link (which has alway been preferred in the past) and reconnect to a wireless link. This can happen upon reboot, after a laptop lid is closed and reopened, or after I go to another meeting and plugin a LAN cable. The LAN cable has alway been preferred in the past and should continue to be preferred. What actually happens is that it will connect with the LAN connection for about a minute and then automatically reconnect to a wireless provider. And not always the preferred wireless provider at that. This change it new to RC1. It didn't happen in the previous build. -- 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.

Does this still happen in 11.0? What do you mean by "reconnect to a wireless provider. And not always the preferred wireless provider at that."? Here's how choosing the wireless connection works: Get the list of visible APs from scanning. Filter connections which don't have "Connect automatically" set. Filter that list keeping only the APs which user has manually selected from the applet and which have successfully connected.

...

From the resulting filtered list, choose the connection which was used most recently.

It is typically when I close and open the laptop screen. What I mean by the preferred wireless provider is that on openSUSE 10.3 I could connect to a specific provider. Every time I pulled the network cable it would go to the last wireless access point that I connected to, which is what I want. With 11.0, it will often connect to that last wireless point and then disconnect and connect to one that I don't want. -- 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.

Can you please see http://en.opensuse.org/Tracking_down_wireless_problems , attach wpa_supplicant log, and let me know what time did the problem occur (NM connects to your preferred connection, then disconnects and connects to some other network). -- 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.
