Relevant sections from /var/log/messages when booting from each of the -6-55 and -9-76 kernels and establishing a wireless connection with NetworkManager (or not)
dup of bug 453390 |
Description of problem: NetworkManager can no longer connect to my home wireless network after the latest kernel update in Fedora 9. Booting with the previous 2.6.25-6-55 kernel allows NetworkManager to establish a connection with my RaLink wireless card, while booting with the newer 2.6.25-9-76 kernel does not. How reproducible: Always. Additional info: lspci -v shows my wireless card as: 04:00.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology GN-WP01GS Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 64, IRQ 16 Memory at ff7f8000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=32K] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2 Kernel driver in use: rt61pci Kernel modules: rt61pci Snips of the relevant sections in /var/log/messages are attached, showing the difference between booting with the older versus the newer kernel. In short, the supplicant connection continues changing state with the newer kernel, and the message avahi-daemon[1995]: Registering new address record for fe80::216:e6ff:fe3b:10ec on wlan0.*. appears instead of NetworkManager: <info> (wlan0): supplicant connection state change: 6 -> 7 NetworkManager: <info> Activation (wlan0/wireless) Stage 2 of 5 (Device Configure) successful. Connected to wireless network 'myssid'. If there are any more diagnostics I can do to help to pinpoint this bug, please ask.
