[Bug 458933] New: knetworkmanager doesn' t refresh wireless networks correctly
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=458933 Summary: knetworkmanager doesn't refresh wireless networks correctly Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: aspiers@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Field Engineer Created an attachment (id=259936) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=259936) screenshot of knetworkmanager and iwlist scan results As the attached screenshot shows, even when the 'Refresh automatically' box is checked in the 'New Connection' dialog window of KDE4's knetworkmanager, it doesn't automatically refresh and show all available ESSIDs. Closing the 'New Connection' dialog window and reopening seems to force a refresh, but some ESSIDs never appear at all. For example, in the screenshot you can see the 'qx2c3v4b5' wireless network in every iwlist scan, but no matter what I do I cannot get it to appear in knetworkmanager (this is rather unfortunate since it is my own wireless network!) The hardware is a Dell Latitude D600 with a Broadcom BCM4309 rev 02. Full info about this wireless network: Cell 02 - Address: 00:14:BF:64:F4:20 ESSID:"qx2c3v4b5" Mode:Master Channel:2 Frequency:2.417 GHz (Channel 2) Quality=60/100 Signal level:-60 dBm Noise level=-67 dBm Encryption key:on Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s; 6 Mb/s 9 Mb/s; 12 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s; 24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s 48 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s Extra:tsf=0000006499f7a181 Extra: Last beacon: 580ms ago So it is not on channel 12/13/14 which I understand from the release notes would cause problems. -- 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.

It looks very different to the one in 10.3 and earlier (I never used 11.0) so I had assumed it was the KDE4 rewrite. The bug still stands though; adjusting bugzilla fields accordingly... -- 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.
