iwevent while this is happening
Here's iwevent while this is happening. I started running this at a VTY before
I logged in. Timestamps:
07:32:56 - log in via gdm
Immediately lots of 'new access point/cell' bits in the log, every 0.05 seconds
or so.
After a time, NM prompted for the key for AGSM2. I did cancel (7:34:24), and it
then moved on to try 'Uniwide' (a second configured ESSID - this one uses PEAP
for auth). After a while NM prompted for the username/pw details. I hit cancel
(7:34:58) and it stopped trying to connect. iwevent still showed
'Not-associated' entries at 1/0.05 sec or so.
I then did 'iwconfig wlan0 essid AGSM2' (07:35:18). Then I selected 'AGSM2'
from the nm-applet menu (7:35:50)

This appears to be http://w1.fi/bugz/show_bug.cgi?id=261 which is fixed by http://hostap.epitest.fi/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=hostap.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=3e2ad1b932d827ddb038a5f9163bca766803811a Looking at my attached logs, you can see the disconnect-while-associating stuff that seems to be triggering this. wpa_supplicant rebuilt with that patch (which applies cleanly except for the changelog file) has been working fine for me. Theres still a small issue where NetworkManager sometimes doesn't seem to be waiting long enough for wpa-supplicant's scan to finish and times out, but with this patch I can just click connect on the prompt when that happens and it works - previously I had to unload/reload ipw4965 and/or restart NM and/or reboot. Thanks for finding that! I'll pull that patch into updates in the near future. This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '9'. 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 9'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 9 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 F11 doesn't need this backported - its using the newer version |
