https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=268277 Summary: No reconnect to WLAN possible if connection lost Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 3 Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: casualprogrammer@yahoo.com QAContact: qa@suse.de This is regarding an FSC Amilo Si 1520 Notebook with Intel ipw3945 WLAN, running openSuSE 10.3 aplpha3plus. When booting the system a WLAN connection is made, after unlocking the keyring. If that connection is lost, no reconnect is possible. The Network Manager keeps coming back, asking for the passphrase for network '%s'. Only cure I found so far is reboot or falling back to ifup rather than Network Manager. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=268277 ------- Comment #3 from casualprogrammer@yahoo.com 2007-04-28 02:18 MST ------- What makes you think it's "Another 3945 bug" ? The ipw3945 seems to work rather well and, as explained above, using ifup and wpa_supplicant there are no problems in connecting.

...

From my perception it's another Network Manager bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=268277 ------- Comment #4 from casualprogrammer@yahoo.com 2007-04-29 06:30 MST ------- Actually it seems that Network Manager doesn't like special characters in SSIDs. After having lost nm-applet, I restarted it from a terminal with nm-applet & Inadvertently I thus got the output from nm-applet. Every time I try to connect to >manus manum lavat< I get the message box asking for the passphrase for network '%s' while the terminal shows: (nm-applet:7165): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to set text from markup due to error parsing markup: Error on line 3 char 96: ''' is not a valid character following a '<' character; it may not begin an element name ** (nm-applet:7165): WARNING **: <WARN> nma_dbus_net_properties_cb(): dbus returned an error. (org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.LimitsExceeded) The maximum number of pending replies per connection has been reached ** (nm-applet:7165): WARNING **: <WARN> nma_dbus_net_properties_cb(): dbus returned an error. (org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.LimitsExceeded) The maximum number of pending replies per connection has been reached Trying to activate any other listed network, results in the same message box, yet displaying the proper network name rather than '%s' -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=268277 ------- Comment #5 from casualprogrammer@yahoo.com 2007-05-09 06:22 MST ------- It might be of little help but of some interest to you that this works with Ubuntu 7.04 Live CD. Connecting to any network and reconnecting to any previous network works flawless using Network Manager. ;-) -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=268277 ------- Comment #6 from eschott@psu.edu 2007-05-15 14:06 MST ------- I had the refusal to connect problem as well as "lockup" (machine freeze, kernel crash) when using 3945 WLAN. I found this report on the latest ipw3495 Apr 29 2007 Changes in 1.2.1 * Fix driver not make associate request when required * Fix iwconfig essid any doesn't associate problem * Fix ipw_associate_network() debug log bug * Fix ifconfig reports Link-encap as Ether (thanks to Jason) * Fix soft lockup during driver load time * Add Makefile warning if a different SHELL other than bash is used * Use the correct variable to print the direct scan essid * Fix a kernel Oops bug #1248 * Fix hardware/software RF kill switch problem during module loading time I fixed ipw3945 rpm to use this, rebuilt, installed. All my wireless problems and machine lockups are gone. I suggest you start using this version of the driver. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=268277 ------- Comment #7 from casualprogrammer@yahoo.com 2007-05-28 05:26 MST ------- Re: Comment Comment #6 Latest Version according to YaST is ipw3945-kmp-default 1.2.0_2.6.21_10.3, the described problem is not ipw3945 driver related at all, since connect / reconnect works perfectly well when ifup/wpa_supplicant is used. As you may have noticed I reported the Bug against GNOME because of 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, or are watching someone who is.
