NetworkManager delay before connection

[Roman Polach]

In Lucid on every system start, NetworkManager makes a delay before it connects
to wireless network. Sometimes it takes 5 second, sometimes about 30. This behavior
is annoying especially when I want to browse internet (well, in 95% of cases I do).
It displays a pop-up "Wireless Networks Available. Click..."
This behavior was also -not- present in Jaunty I used before..

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. I have classified this bug as a bug in network-manager. If you believe that I have chosen the wrong package, please change your bug to the correct one. Good luck on getting it fixed!

Hi Roman,

Thank you for taking the time to report and bug and helping to make Ubuntu better!

Do you also need to click on the network-manager icon and select a wireless, or does it automatically connect (without asking for a a password) after the 30 seconds?

It's possible this is related to the time it takes for the driver to scan and return data...

It would be very helpful if you could add more information to this bug report by using the 'apport-collect 609744' command. This will add additional information such as excerpts from the /var/log/syslog file, which contains logs of what NetworkManager is doing as it connects.

Thanks in advance! :)

apport-collect output taken after nm finally connected.
WifiSyslog.txt shows 17 sec time gap which is probably the gap I see.

[Roman Polach (rpolach)]

why is the status "Incomplete"?
I have provided information a while ago.
Is it sufficient?

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (cyphermox)]

Sorry Roman,

Yes, this is just the information I was looking for, I just need to go through the log and see what is going on. I will let you know if I need more information.

Still the same problem in Maverick
