Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
Gutsy, current updates as of this date.
network-manager 0.6.5-0ubuntu16
I'm in a hotel in Sweden with Telia HomeRun wireless.
If I use a session with the NetworkManager, I lose connectivity each time that something decides that I have roamed from one bssid to another.
Syslog shows:
Mar 11 16:04:48 bim-1330 NetworkManager: <debug> [1205265888.124081] nm_device_
Mar 11 16:04:48 bim-1330 NetworkManager: <debug> [1205265888.125820] nm_dbus_
Mar 11 16:04:48 bim-1330 kernel: [ 653.632000] SoftMAC: Open Authentication completed with 00:19:a9:b5:9c:80
Mar 11 16:04:49 bim-1330 kernel: [ 654.496000] SoftMAC: Open Authentication completed with 00:19:a9:b5:9b:40
Mar 11 16:04:50 bim-1330 NetworkManager: <debug> [1205265890.124297] nm_device_
Mar 11 16:04:50 bim-1330 NetworkManager: <debug> [1205265890.126017] nm_dbus_
and from then on, I cannot ping anything unless I force the interface to go back down and up again. Sometimes, I can't connect at all.
As an experiment, I logged out, logged in again on a KDE session. I've been working for an hour. Previously, I never got past a few minutes.
can you please the rc2 of 0.6.6 which was on the hardy alpha 6 release or try once beta is out? (you can either test with livecd or by upgrading your system - you decide).
please also attach your complete /var/log/syslog (capturing some roaming incidents), tell me about which time i can see the roaming issue in it and provide information on the chipset/driver you are using for wireless.
Thanks,
