Bug Description
in Ubuntu 9.04 beta (Linux hb 2.6.28-11-generic #38-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 27 09:00:52 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux) network manager looses wireless connection after approximately 8 hours.
This occurs permanently.
It could be triggered by wireless stations appearing or disappearing.
When looking at the peer list after disconnect, there always 20+ stations in the list.
Disabling and enabling wireless network finds only 5 - 10 SSIDs.
This happened in 8.10 beta as well. It became better in 8.10 stable and now is back.
Worse than before: In 8.10 I got the logon to network dialog. I do not get it in 9.04 (well I got it twice, but its not a pattern).
There is another issue:
The password that gets retrieved from the keyring is STILL wrong.
While you are at it: Please fix the bug that when connecting the first time, the password is fetched correctly, on reconnect you get try to use the hash. This does not work.
I am pretty sure that if you fixe the second problem the first one will disappear.
