Description of problem: I have a Zyxel G-1000 access point, configured for WPA(2)-PSK. For this I have a couple of timer options to set. ReAuthentication timer (set to 1800 secs) and an Idle timeout (3600 secs). Now - I do think Zyxel have a bug here, since connection idles out even though i'm doing timely reauthentications (correct me if i'm wrong here) - But i still think i see a problem with nm/wpa_supplicant (component or interop???). Upon reaching the idle timeout, the AP essentially disconnects me. NM (or wpa_supplicant) discovers this and reconnects. Great. But it only works a few times, then my connection stays down until i manually select to re-connect using the NM list. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-0.6.2-2.fc5 wpa_supplicant-0.4.8-10.fc5 driver: madwifi-ng rev 1556 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. connect to Zyxel AP configured for WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK 2. leave computer alone over night (no network activity) 3. check connection in the morning Actual results: disconnected Expected results: still connected Additional info: like i mentioned, i do believe Zyxel has a bug that really triggers the problem, but NM/wpa_supplicant should at least be able to keep reconnecting endlessly without problems. right?
Created attachment 129366 [details] NM log of the problem as it happens (May 17 at 00:30 connection dies, at 7:xx i reconnect manually to get it going again)
