Created attachment 657560 [details] dmesg output Description of problem: Sometimes when trying to connect to a access point and most times when trying to create an adhoc "hotspot" this error occurs. It always occurs after waking from suspend. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel 3.6.8-2.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: Almost always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create hotspot in NetworkManager. 2. Wait a while, it times out and pops up a notification stating, "Activation of network failed" 3. Most times I can see in gkrellm that wlan0 is not an active interface. If I try to connect to other wifi networks it will sometimes pop up in gkrellm, then I can usually get the hotspot working Actual results: Does not create hotspot Expected results: a hotspot would be created Additional info:
