Are you sure your AP is unencrypted? Could you please try if you can setup the connection without NM as root with a freshly booted system? - rcnetwork stop - ifconfig wlan0 up - iwconfig wlan0 essid <youressid> - wait a few seconds - dhcpcd wlan0 If dhcpcd returns you should have got an IP. Please verify this using ifconfig wlan0. -- 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.

I've followed instructions from comment #5 and my connection works just fine. See: linux:~ # ifconfig wlan0 wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1B:77:89:7B:30 inet addr:192.168.0.118 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::21b:77ff:fe89:7b30/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:30 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:780 (780.0 b) TX bytes:6227 (6.0 Kb) However, this does not imply that this method of connecting is reliable. My previous delay in response was caused mainly by the fact that about ten attempts (each separated by reboot of a machine) to connect resulted in success so I couldn't provide any logs for analyse. This means, that there are random problems with connecting so we can be never sure if second method turned to be successful only because of coincidence... I have some others tasks now, I'll do some more extensive testing at the late evening. -- 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.

Programmer 2008-06-03 02:50:53 MDT --- Not sure whether this is the proper Bug to add to, correct me if I'm wrong. While travelling I tried to connect to an unencrypted network with NetworkManager without success, then connection was made using ifup. After a while of operation connection was terminated and could not be restored for the rest of the day ( > 8h ) neither with NetworkManager nor with ifup. After letting the issue rest overnight, on booting this morning NetworkManager now connects to the AP. Not sure what kind of information to provide for further examination.

If it was an upgrade, try replacing the /etc/sysconfig/network/config and /dhcp files with the ones from /var/adm/fillup-templates. I recently found that the iwl driver is MUCH more sensitive to changes in timings, hold times, "drop connections if . . ", .etc stuff than the ipw driver ever was. Once I replaced my configs with the new ones (which really just reset all the values to default and added some nice commentary) most of my troubles with wireless went away. -- 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.

I decided to attach NetworkManager log because it contains information about exactly the same issues I had with unencrypted networks so I guess the reason is the same. Issues are: a) connection can "die" from time to time and then there is no way you can reconnect b) sometimes wifi does not detect network at all c) most of the time I had to try many times (including rebooting machine and deleting saved connection) before it connects successfully. All this is happening at random times. Sometimes I can work with wifi for the whole day without a problem but often it dies after an hour or two. I'll have an access to my unecpryted network over the weekend so I can provide more details if you need. I have fresh kernel and NetworkManager packages from update repository for 11.0 version. -- 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.

Once I hit this problem again I'll try to make sure that NetworkManager is not running. I tried all possible methods: auto connect (in case that knetworkmanager detects network at all), connecting using main menu and enforcing connection using "Connect to other network". In the order I have given. Of course, I didn't see any difference between this methods. If one failed, then any other would fail as well. -- 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.

If you are busy maybe you could point me to upstream driver maintainers so I could work with them directly?

This is extremely important. We may see two different issues together here. Are you sure the problem shows up when using iw* commands and NetworkManager is stopped? -- 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.

I have additional question: it's rather common that after suspending my laptop and recovering it from that state I experience various problems with reconnecting to to the network I was connected previously. Since for me it's easier to reproduce my problems using suspending thus I would prefer this route. Is it fine with you? BTW. My gut feeling is that we observe different bugs because symptoms I see are really diverse. -- 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.
