[Bug 400707] New: Wireless does not work reliably with unencryptet networks
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=400707 Summary: Wireless does not work reliably with unencryptet networks Product: openSUSE 10.3 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: uli.2001@gmx.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- I am using a Thinkpad T60. The wireless network always works with any encryptet network. Unencryptet networks are found reliably bit KNetworkManager. However, when I try to connect to them, there is a chance below 50% that the connection actually works (the connection process seems to time out). Another try usually does not help. Rebooting the laptop sometimes works. I noticed this on every unencrypted network I tried to use in hotels and so on while travelling. The same networks work reliably when I boot into windows. -- 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 switched to 11.0 in the meantime. With this, I have not yet been in the situation to use unencrypted networks.
Thanks Ulrich. Please get back to this bug report or open a new one if the bug is still present for you in 11.0. Closing as WORKSFORME. -- 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.

The first time, * running rcnetwork stop * saving NetworkManager
Here is a "ifconfig wlan0 up" missing.
* running iwconfig wlan0 essid puwireless * saving dmesg.log * running dhcpcd wlan0 did not result in a working connection (but doing rcnetwork restart and restarting KNetworkManager and trying again to connect several times worked in the end); here, I got the files and dmesg.log.
However, dmesg shows a lot of lines like wlan0: RX deauthentication from 00:14:a8:36:ab:b0 (reason=23) Reason 23 hereby means "IEEE 802.1X authentication failed". Either 00:14:a8:36:ab:b0 is the wrong AP or if it is the right AP it uses encryption. Could you please verify that? -- 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.
