Here is a list of the problems I encountered. 1. On reboot, networkmanagement won't retain the password for my WPA network. I have to input it every time. 2. After I make the initial connection, within about 10-15 minutes the connection will show as weakening, then will be dropped. After that it is impossible to reconnect to my network without rebooting the computer. It also won't connect to other available networks, and if it fails to connect to another network that network won't appear in the list of detected wlan networks in networkmanager anymore. 3. After my wireless connection is dropped, network manager won't "see" my wireless network anymore. I can be three feet away from the antenna, but it won't show the network. Using ifup I can scan for and find the network, then connect up to it. But not with network manager. 4. On opensuse 12.1, the network manager will drop the network and then won't see it for about 10 minutes or so. All of a sudden, it seems to time out and it can see my network again and connect to it. But with opensuse 12.2, I haven't been able to get it to see the network again after any time out period. Once its gone, its gone for good. 5. On opensuse 12.2, many times after rebooting the laptop network manager won't pick up my wlan network at all, If I scan for networks, it won't show up. Yet if I switch to ifup I can scan for networks, find mine, and connect up immediately. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Turn on the laptop, and expect to connect to a wireless network. 2. 3. Actual Results: As described under "details" above. Expected Results: I would expect to easily connect to an available wireless 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.
