Comment 23 for bug 154549

i have the same problem.Ill describe it anyways.
When my network disconnects for a long time (more than 2 mins. or so) then network manager cannot connect to the same network again without restarting the laptop or if i use the commands mentioned:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager restart
$ sudo restart network-manager

once i restart network manager by this method it reconnects.
I'm using a Lenovo r61 and have upgraded to 9.10 from 9.04 and this problem was not there in 9.04.

please let me know what additional information do i need to provide.
