Description of problem: Network manager disconnects when wireless network is idle Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.7.0-0.11.svn4022 How reproducible: Everytime (for me a least) Steps to Reproduce: 1.Connect to wireless, leave idle for a bit 2.Disconnects and fails to reconnect even if you move closer,it just spins that animation for a bit and fails asking for the passphrase. 3.can be restarted buy using '/etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart' but it repeats Actual results: disconnects and fails to reconnect Expected results: stays connected. Additional info: The network im using is a wpa encrypted, mac filtered access point. I have had a similar problem with a wep access point. email me if you need more info - cameroncros. I don't want to sound whinny but this keeps happening every time a set of updates it install.
Could you attach some logs from /var/log/messages showing what NM is doing around the dropouts? Usually it's that the supplicant simply cannot reconnect within about 30 seconds and after that NM terminates the connection.
Created attachment 322159 [details] /var/log/messages from around the time of the disconect and reconect Here is the var messages log from the time it was connected to the time it disconnected. Hope it helps.
Does this get better with a recent kernel? Like 2.6.27.12-78.2.8.fc9 ? This issue is highly driver dependent and updates can certainly help.
I was also seeing this problem. I believe that recent updates have cured it. I've seen no unexplained dropout for the last few days.
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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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
In F10 disconnects are less frequent, but they do still happen, and often it is impossible to reconnect. I would like the version to be changed so that this bug investigation can be continued
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.
