Wrong network status after logout/login...

[Thomas Schanzer]

After configuring my ethernet card with dhcp and surfing the internet for a
while i logged out for a minute,
after i logged in again, it showed that the network card has not been configured
yet, but internet still worked.

It should show the real status of the card, even after a logout...

Tested on 5.10 preview live cd.

I can confirm this one.. Neither on eth0 or eth1 does the applet show the
correct status.

But is it the case all the time, not only after a logout.

same thing for me . i have a linksys WUSB11 2.8 and when i reboot it will
disconnect so i will have to go activate the device and then it works

Thanks for the report. I made a commend on
http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=300860 which is quite a related issue.

Networkmanager replaced this, and works.

[Juan Pablo Salazar Bertín (snifer)]

This has not been replaced by networkmanager, since it doesn't show network activity.

upstream report was closed as obsolete, do you still get this issue?

[Juan Pablo Salazar Bertín (snifer)]

It's still an issue for me (up to date hardy).
Bug #4479 and bug #103935 are duplicates of this one and they're still reproducible.

[Connor Imes (ckimes)]

This bug report was closed upstream because it was old, but it appears the problem still exists with 2 duplicates. I will mark this bug as Confirmed.

[Connor Imes (ckimes)]

Does this problem still exist in Intrepid or Jaunty (development)? Thanks in advance.
