Bug Description
Hello,
I have some problems, which I reproduce consistently both in Ubuntu, XUbuntu and KUbuntu.
Synthetically, the wireless network connection seems to stop working either when I switch to a different network, or when the current one goes down.
The problem can have several, but similar behavior.
For example (case 1):
* I am connected, the connection goes down
* I try to switch network, but the spinner of Network manager applet still continues running with the old one
* I try to disable the wireless connection from the same applet, but the spinner still runs
Case 2, happened today:
* I am about to connect to a wireless network for the very first time (Live CD)
* I try to switch before the first one has been established, spinner stuck at running! (indicating an attempt to connect to the first network)
* I disable the wireless card from the system options: spinner still running
* I drop the applet; reenable wireless card; readd the applet: now the applet doesn't see any wireless card.
I can reproduce this problem consistently.
Key element:
* OpenSUSE works perfectly under this aspect
My system (pretty standard):
* Asus A8JC Notebook: Centrino duo, Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
* [K|X]Ubuntu 7.10
Cheers,
Saverio M.
The system is a fresh install.
The version is Gutsy, and the problem presents itself also after updating all the packages.
Can I send some sort of log?
Thanks,
Saverio
