[opensuse] networkmanager disconnecting
![](https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/54df84b83dac3594fa721c3612615e40.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
Hi, I am staying in a hotel at the moment and was being disconnected from the hotel's wifi network about every thirty seconds or so. I had been connected for about three hours, then I started to be disconnected continually. This went on for about an hour, till I restarted the computer. Then I was able to log onto the wifi net automatically again during startup. I looked up the /var/log/networkmanager logs to see if there was something obvious that was causing the disconnect and failure to log in again. But I only see that it shows that I am trying to connect and being disconnected. I will post some of the log below to see if someone else can find a reason for the problem that I don't see. 2013-08-19T16:49:52.393850-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> Activation (wlan0) Stage 5 of 5 (IPv4 Configure Commit) scheduled... 2013-08-19T16:49:52.394504-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> Activation (wlan0) Stage 5 of 5 (IPv4 Commit) started... 2013-08-19T16:49:53.396323-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): device state change: ip-config -> activated (reason 'none') [70 100 0] 2013-08-19T16:49:53.545642-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): roamed from BSSID 00:1E:13:1B:1F:41 (hhonors) to 00:1D:A2:C9:BA:71 (hhonors) 2013-08-19T16:49:53.573371-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> Clearing nscd hosts cache. 2013-08-19T16:49:53.577020-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> Policy set 'hhonors' (wlan0) as default for IPv4 routing and DNS. 2013-08-19T16:49:53.577987-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> Activation (wlan0) successful, device activated. 2013-08-19T16:49:53.581046-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> Activation (wlan0) Stage 5 of 5 (IPv4 Commit) complete. 2013-08-19T16:49:54.182781-04:00 linux-z6ef nm-dispatcher.action: Script '/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/nfs' exited with error status 2. 2013-08-19T16:52:14.551796-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: completed -> authenticating 2013-08-19T16:52:14.565314-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: authenticating -> completed 2013-08-19T16:52:17.891175-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): roamed from BSSID 00:1D:A2:C9:BA:71 (hhonors) to 00:1D:A2:CA:05:A1 (hhonors) 2013-08-19T16:52:47.887759-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <warn> nl_recvmsgs() error: (-33) Dump inconsistency detected, interrupted 2013-08-19T16:53:37.332108-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: completed -> authenticating 2013-08-19T16:53:37.802272-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: authenticating -> disconnected 2013-08-19T16:53:37.902176-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: disconnected -> scanning 2013-08-19T16:53:38.128616-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: scanning -> disconnected 2013-08-19T16:53:38.237994-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: disconnected -> scanning 2013-08-19T16:53:38.458384-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: scanning -> authenticating 2013-08-19T16:53:38.461980-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: authenticating -> associating 2013-08-19T16:53:38.481769-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: associating -> completed 2013-08-19T16:53:41.892529-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): roamed from BSSID 00:1D:A2:CA:05:A1 (hhonors) to 00:19:A9:B4:AC:31 (hhonors) If more of the log would help, I can post more. But I hope that this might let someone see why it isn't staying connected and reconnecting when it is dropped. Or, might lead someone to help me to find where the reason might be logged.

The best place to log a complaint would be the front desk. I generally the motel/hotel routers need frequent reboots. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I have tried twice to deal with this with the hotel's technical support today for this issue without success. I am having a similar issue with an ipad on which some manuals that I needed to study today are stored. I can't access them, as even though the manuals are stored on the ipad I have to log in to the company's update server before I can access them. It seems I keep on getting dropped from the company server but not the internet. I dealt with my company technical support regarding the ipad, and they feel it is the hotel's wifi system that is causing the problem. I am hoping if I can crack the problem on either system I can get the answer to fix both. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
