Description of problem: Wireless disconnects intermittently, after an hour or so. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager.i686 1:0.8.9997-6.git20110721.fc15 How reproducible: Just leave the computer on for a longer time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start computer, NM starts up and brings up wireless 2. Wait 3. Actual results: Intermittent disconnects Expected results: No disconnects. Additional info: When trying to bring up the wireless manually from the terminal, this is what happens: [root@simone ~]# ifup systemwide Active connection state: activating Active connection path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/0 ** (process:3679): WARNING **: _nm_object_get_property: Error getting 'State' for /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/0: (19) Method "Get" with signature "ss" on interface "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" doesn't exist state: unknown Error: Connection activation failed. Wireless is brought up in startup scripts (in rc.local, by a simple "ifup systemwide") ifcfg-systemwide attached. Downgrading NetworkManager, NetworkManager-glib and NetworkManager-gnome to 1:0.8.999-2.git20110509.fc15 seems to help. If you need additional info, just ask.

I've been cursing at my Fedora installation for about a year because of this bug. It isn't uncommon, I've talked to a few people who've been doing the same thing. I hate to be the one who says, "but it works in ubuntu," but I switched to UbStudio for a while just to get away from this. I put F16 _64 back on the machine today in hopes of not having the failure of a wifi connection bug again, but it looks like it's still very much in full force. I can't seem to like anything else as much as I do Fedora, so I'm going to just put up with it. Anything I can do to help will be provided.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. 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
