Description

I can confirm that on F8 final too. This makes wireless card broken and I cannot use wi-fi anymore. Ubuntu and openSUSE don't suffer from this problem. Please make it higher priority. This issue appears to have been resolved in F9. It also isn't present in the 10 betas: 9.91 or 9.92. (However there is now a new issue in both F9.91/2 and Ubuntu 8.10 beta's 2.6.27 series kernels which I'll raise soon). The Fedora10 Preview Release also has this problem. NetworkManager should only disable the internal wifi card and not all wifi cards. In my case, I use an Asus WL-107g PCMCIA card because the built-in broadcom needs a proprietary driver which I don't want to use. Enabling the card, however, renders the system unusable since it seems to interfere with the X.org freezing it (the rest of the system is ok). This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. Should not be closed, but passed to newer versions of Fedora, 9 and 10. |
