This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks. I am the original reporter. Seems to be fixed in Fedora 7 which I'm running here. So marking resolved WORKSFORME. Please change this if there is a better resolution for bugs that are now fixed but the fix isn't specifically known. I still occasionally see some NetworkManager problems but not this one. If the problems recur in Fedora 8 after it is released, then I will report them against that product. |
Description of problem: NetworkManager tooltip shows... Wireless network connection to '(unknown)' (100%) I am connected to ECS-WLAN which I picked from a list, in fact I'm writing this bug report over the resulting link, so it's definitely working. But NetworkManager's panel icon describes it as "unknown", in FC3 it said "ECS-WLAN". The pop-up/ drop-down menu doesn't show a bullet next to ECS-WLAN any more either. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-0.4-15.cvs20050404, NetworkManager-gnome-0.4-15.cvs20050404 iwconfig shows... wlan0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"ECS-WLAN" Nickname:"ipw2100" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: 00:07:85:B4:08:A3 Bit Rate=11 Mb/s Tx-Power:off Retry:on RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off Link Quality=100/100 Signal level=-43 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:56 Missed beacon:0 So the OS still knows this is ECS-WLAN (and indeed, how could it not, without this information it can't associate to the AP).
