After boot, NetworkManager tries automatically to connect to a visible wpa secured network. This takes too long and NM asks for the key. At second time, association succeeds.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NetworkManager-0.7.1-4.git20090414.fc11.i586
wpa_supplicant-0.6.8-2.fc11.i586
kernel-PAE-2.6.29.3-155.fc11.i686

How reproducible:
90%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot, log in
2. NM tries to connect
3.
  
Actual results:
No connection is made, NM asks for key


Expected results:
Connection succeeds, no further assistance necessary

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.

Seems to be no problem, if using kernel 2.6.30.....

Comment 4 Josep 2009-07-26 16:08:19 UTC
Same problem. I have not yet been able to establish a connection to a WPA router. The logs look the same as shown in the attached file.

I have no trouble with a WPA2 router, though. It worked flawlessly on Fedora 10.

Comment 5 Matthias Runge 2009-08-17 07:29:01 UTC
Seems to be fixed with the 2.6.30 (testing) kernel from koji.

Comment 6 Dan Williams 2009-11-11 17:33:01 UTC
Yeah, 2.6.30 (F11) kernels work pretty well with a dual-band ath5k for me with WPA-PSK as well.  Closing...  Final diagnosis is a kernel driver bug.
