[Bug 218164] New: knetworkmanager can't handle hotplugged WLAN cards
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=218164 Summary: knetworkmanager can't handle hotplugged WLAN cards Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 1 Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: danielstefanmader@web.de QAContact: qa@suse.de After switching off my internal ipw2100 when not needed in order to save on battery life, knetworkmanager doesn't seem to reactivate the NIC and re-scan for present wireless networks when the card is switched on again. The card itself works and I can manually scan with "iwlist eth0 scan". Killing knetworkmanager and restarting it solves the issue. Since this behavior has already been the same for 10.1, too, I would suggest to include a manual "Search for Wireless Networks" option in the NetworkManager frontends. Having to kill the applet is not very elegant :) -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=218164 ------- Comment #2 from danielstefanmader@web.de 2006-11-06 02:14 MST ------- No, I didn't since I very much prefer KDE. But considering the fact that killing the applet only and restarting it solves the issue, I would assume that the problem is caused by this very applet and not the underlying NetworkManager. This bug is totally reproducible on KDE and anybody with a laptop and GNOME running could try if its also the same here. I will try to have a look at it later but currently I have no time, sorry. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

I find a lot of the experienced behavior in the mentioned bugreports! Let's now see how the beta2 will perform :) -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=218164 ------- Comment #7 from tambet@ximian.com 2006-11-08 02:25 MST ------- Also, can you please just try to run nm-applet even if you prefer KDE, to debug this issue? From your comment #2, it actually sounds more like an applet problem if killing it and then restarting makes things work - it shows that NetworkManager knows about the device and the applet didn't catch the signal when it was added. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=218164 ------- Comment #8 from danielstefanmader@web.de 2006-11-08 02:40 MST ------- Request #6 I will definitely try to fulfill this evening and send the log. I am extremely busy at work, so please be patient. #7 I have tried yesterday but I couldn't get YAST to fire up the Software Management Module. After >2hrs syncing time with errors in between I gave up on installing the gnome applet from factory... That Package Management system is horribly broken, I tell you. Also it seems to me that there is no laptop to your availability at Novell or SuSE? The NetworkManager and its applets haven't really improved a lot since 10.1 albeit the apparent bugs... I promise that as soon as I win a Lotto Jackpot I will donate one so that you can do some basic testing yourselves, too. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

If you would like to see this issue fixed, please go ahead without such comments. [ We have enough hardware, please spend your money otherwise. However, if the price is not money but a time machine, we are happy to accept it. ] -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=218164 ------- Comment #10 from danielstefanmader@web.de 2006-11-08 03:21 MST ------- First of all, you should be equally -- if not more -- interested in squashing bugs :) Secondly, if this sounded so offensive to you, then pls accept my apologies, it wasn't meant to be so. (But you must understand that I am seriously doubting the readiness of the package management system. Networkmanager works flawless in comparison to that.) You will get the log tonight and I will download beta1-CDs in order to test with the gnome applet. And yes, most of the time it seems to me that this is NOT a problem of NM itself but only the applet. Is there a CLI to the NM so that I could verify? BTW a time machine is welcome here, too. I am doing my best to hunt down stuff but I can not spend (a lot of) my time on testing during office hrs. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
