https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=232868 Summary: NetworkManager connects to wireless even when "wireless disabled" Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: ammulder@chariotsolutions.com QAContact: qa@suse.de I am using KDE and NetworkManager for network device control. I was at home and used the KDE network manager system tray icon to set "disable wireless", and I connected to a wired LAN. I suspended my laptop, took it to work, and resumed without plugging into a LAN or anything. Upon resume, it automatically connected to the wireless LAN at work (and the system tray icon for network manager changed to the signal strength icon). I was able to access the network. However, when I clicked the system tray icon, it did not show any wireless networks (where it normally has a list of the available ones), and it turned out that it was still in the "wireless disabled" state, even though it was connected to the wireless network here. I selected "Enable wireless" and it then showed the available wireless networks, though it had actually been connected before. I would expect that it would not connect to a wireless network when in the "disable wireless" state -- even when you suspend and resume. It would also be acceptable (though not preferable) if it automatically reset to the wireless enabled state after a suspend and resume. But it shouldn't show that wireless is disabled and still auto-connect to a 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, or are watching someone who is.
