We will need more information.  Please start by attaching the output of running dmesg after at least one of these disconnects have happened...thanks!

So, the GNOME-based liveCD fails but the KDE-based liveCD works?  That seems a bit wierd...

Comment 9 satellitgo 2012-03-07 18:07:41 UTC
"Ignore" in  IPv6 settings in wireless and wired seems to fix it? now desktop stays connected for me from one of the older bugs

Also turn airplane mode off after changes

has no dropouts

Comment 12 satellitgo 2012-03-09 18:56:03 UTC
My test system is linked on IPv6 and has IPv4 available

Seems I connect on IPv4 and then try to link onIPv6 which is blocked in fedora.
Result is connect/disconnect behavior on network in f17 Beta TC1 Desktop

DHCPv6 responses are not allowed by default ip6tables ruleset

satellit:

I believe so. This looks exactly like bug 753482.

ip-config-unavailable in syslog's deamon.debug should tell you if it is the same bug or not.

Comment 17 satellitgo 2012-03-09 23:02:37 UTC
tested on ACER ASPIRE ONE N450:
This is same Netbook I tested f17 TC1 Beta Desktop and saw the connect/disconnect behavior until IPv6 was changed from Automatic to ignore. Then the connection was up permanently.

Fedora-17-Beta-TC1-x86_64-Live-XFCE.iso Boot CD
Edited Wireless and added WEP ASCII password
set wireless IPv6 to "ignore" 
Install to HD:
use whole disk non LVM
Boot 
Add/Remove Programs - sugar
check all pertinent activities
Menu/education/sugar
Sugar emulator starts:
sugar-desktop starts  and wireless AP is already configured.
Wireless stays connected
Values from Live CD seem to be transferred to install.

Comment 19 Pavel Šimerda (pavlix) 2012-03-18 22:56:42 UTC
Please see new info in bug 753482 and check MaxRtrAdvInterval and AdvRDNSSLifetime in router's configuration if you have access to it.

Comment 20 Dan Winship 2012-04-19 14:51:32 UTC
I don't think this is 753482; there'd be "ndisc_router_discovery() failed to add default route" messages in the dmesg output if it was. (And it would be weird to have an AdvRDNSSLifetime of 10 seconds anyway.)

/var/log/messages would be useful, since that would show both kernel and NetworkManager logs

Comment 21 Fedora End Of Life 2013-07-03 21:59:17 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 17. 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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '17'.

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 17'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 17 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, you are encouraged  change the 
'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

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.

Comment 22 Fedora End Of Life 2013-07-31 23:34:07 UTC
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 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.
