Current quick work-around: modprobe -r rt2500pci modprobe -a rt2500pci - The network then gets re-connected via KDE Network Manager automatically It doesn't seem to be a problem in kde-plasma-networkmanagement, because KDE networkmanagement applet itself doesn't disconnect from some connection until you click on disconnect button. It looks like a problem in NetworkManager itself or some problem with your drivers. Assigning to NetworkManager. Clearly a kernel driver problem, given the dmesg log output. The device has simply stopped transmitting. Does "iwconfig wlan0 power off" workaround that issue ? This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '17'. 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 17'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 17 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, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. 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. Closing due to lack of response ... Apologies, did not see the request for information status. "iwconfig wlan0 power off" never resolved the issue. Was built into start up. Purchased a newer PCI card as resolution, but not yet tested. The rt2500pci driver has performed better over the last two days performing at least longer than 24 hours continiously. but still not perfect. I believe it can be tested in newer release of Fedora as 17 is reaching EOL. *********** MASS BUG UPDATE ************** We apologize for the inconvenience. There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale. Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 18 kernel bugs. Fedora 18 has now been rebased to 3.11.4-101.fc18. Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel. If you have moved on to Fedora 19, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 19. If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those. This issue happen on very old hardware, we will not fix it , sorry. Yep. Gathered that. fixed the problem long time ago by using the card in a windows machine, and using a usb wifi device for linux Mark the card as non compatible with linux fedora. item closed |
