Description of problem: Updated to kernel-3.3.0-4.fc16.x86_64 No longer maintain link with wireless access point. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-3.3.0-4.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot kernel-3.3.0-4.fc16.x86_64 2. Login to GNOME desktop 3. Wireless network connection keeps cycling last AP Actual results: Cannot maintain association with AP Expected results: Works fine with kernel-3.2.9-2.fc16.x86_64 Additional info: Using Intel 6230N wireless/bluetooth mini-pcie
It is difficult to know where to start -- the wireless code in those two kernels should be identical. Please attach the output of running 'dmesg' after a few connection attempts.

I think this has something to do with how NetworkManager handles IPv6 configuration failures. I understand that the version in Rawhide might address this issue. In the meantime, you should edit your wireless connection, and set IPV6 Settings to Ignore. That should prevent the disconnection loop.
See bug 785772 and bug 806932 for more information.

That should prevent the disconnection loop. IPV6 is already set to ignore, does not appear related to bug 806932. It's the same version on NM running between kernel versions, yet booting into kernel-3.3.0-4.fc16.x86_64 doesn't maintain association with my AP. Is the version in rawhide newer than the upcoming 17 Beta?
Boot kernel: append ipv6.disable=1 Issue not observed. Appears IP6 related.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '16'. 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 16'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 16 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 to click on "Clone This Bug" 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
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 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.
