From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008042509 Fedora/3.0-0.55.beta5.fc9 Firefox/3.0b5 Description of problem: I have to dhclient wlan0 everytime I connect to a hotspot. At home using WPA it works without this problem. Is network manager not using dhclient corrrectly? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.connect to a hotspot 2.no browser connection 3.enter dhclient wlan0 and connection works Actual Results: have to use dhclient to connect Expected Results: should connect without having to use dhclient wlan0 Additional info: I see possible related bugs entered but I don't know which or if one of them is the same bug.
Can you attach your /var/log/messages from the time this happens so I can try to figure out what's going on? Thanks!
Created attachment 303978 [details] log text This is my log. I started up. wlan0 connected to hotspot but no internet. Ran dhclient wlan0 and then had internet access.

This bug has been triaged -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
