plasma-widget-networkmanagement

[Iñaki Baz Castillo]

Binary package hint: plasma-widget-networkmanagement

After pressing (maybe by error) the hardware WiFi button in my laptop (so I get "rtl8192: wireless radio switch turned off" in syslog), I cannot reconnect my WiFi again. The available WiFi networks are not showed anymore. This does not occur always however, but many times.

Also, due to some other Xorg related problem, sometimes my X session is restarted (or it's stopped so I run "/etc/init.d/kdm restart" and get it again). In these cases, I can never connect again to my WiFi. NetworkManager plasma widget seems not to detect the WiFi networks. Restarting network-manager and/or avahi-daemon doesn't not fix it. I don't know if a problem related to the plasma wigdet or to network-manager.

These problems just occur ater upgrading to Kubuntu 11.04. Please help me providing useful information. Thanks.

Not sure why xorg package was indicated as affected package, I've replaced it with plasma-widget-networkmanagement (but the problem could be in network-manager).

Hi, why is this report supposed to affet xserver-xorg-video-intel? It's just a problem with the WiFi connection :)

However in my first report I wrongly set the related packaged to xorg (changed later to plasma-widget-networkmanagement).
