Description of problem: Networkmanager starts, wireless card comes up, selecting a network from the list (Or when network manager auto-detects my home network, then autoconnects), NetworkManager will fail to continue the connection. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-glib-0.6.5-0.6.svn2474.fc7 NetworkManager-0.6.5-0.6.svn2474.fc7 NetworkManager-gnome-0.6.5-0.6.svn2474.fc7 How reproducible: 1/3 times, but usually when I'm already frustrated after a long days work. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot laptop, log into gnome. 2. See nm-applet do spinny thing 3. tail the var log messages, notice it didnt get a dhcp lease, frown. Actual results: nm-applet does not connect to my wireless Expected results: nm to connect to my wireless server so I can go about my life. Additional info: It seems whenever it fails, I see the log in the messages.. Apr 6 02:43:36 localhost NetworkManager: <info> Old device 'ath0' activating, won't change. However when it works, I get Apr 6 02:45:54 localhost kernel: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): ath0: link becomes ready var log messages sections to be attached.

This happens for me about 1/20 times, but gets better, mostly when the signal is weaker. Does it help if you stop NM; rmmod (your_wls_card_module_here); insmod (your...) and then restart NM? That works for me... btw: I used only wpa_supplicant (edit the conf file and start) the first time I got connected to my AP and it never failed. Maybe NM is not waiting enough at some point and should certainly not clear my passphrase every time - ask yes, but fill in the old one. I use the knetworkmanager applet and wpa2 if that matters.
It usually does, but i cant get it to work properly. This seems to work though. #!/bin/bash service NetworkManger stop /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -dd -Dmadwifi -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -iath0 /sbin/dhclient ath0 wpa_supplicant is of course populated with the correct values.
Still happening in F8T3 and current rawhide.
Created attachment 237581 [details] And.. it still happens Updated error messages.. this still works if i set it up manually.
ok, set /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant up to look like this INTERFACES="-i wlan0 " DRIVERS="-D madwifi -dd" Start the service, have it start on boot.. make this your wpa_supplicant startup params, now it works. Till we meet again networkmanager
I have the same problems in current rawhide, NetworkManager can't connect to my WPA AP at home. I works if i use service NetworkManger stop /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -dd -Dmadwifi -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -iath0 -B /sbin/dhclient ath0 I will try modifying /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant when i get home. why wlan0, shouldn't it be ?? INTERFACES="-i ath0 "
Thanks !!!!. All my problems with NetworkManager & wpa_supplicant is solved in Rawhide. NetworkManager connects without any problems to my WPA2 access point on my Thinkpad T60 (Madwifi driver) The is a problem connecting after suspend/resume, i have to modprobe -r ath_pci modprobe ath_pci Then it is working again. (I don't think this issue have any thing todo with NM)
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Ok, fixed in current release then.
