Re: CVS-12-20-04 autoswitching

[Bill Moss <bmoss CLEMSON EDU>]

Autoswitching no longer works. I pulled the plug on my campus network 
but did not connect to the wireless network automatically. Here is what 
appeared in syslog. The panel applet dialog box is showing the wireless 
network with ESSID cuairnet. This ESSID is hidden on campus so NM has 
figured out the network name from the info in gconf. Clicking on 
cuairnet produced the out of range error message since ipw2200 does not 
yet handle scan signal strength. Clicking on 'Other Wireless Networks' 
and filling in the ESSID and WEP key produced another out of range error 
message. I was not able to connect to the campus wireless network after 
switching from wired. Will try a reboot. Reboot worked. I was able to 
connect to my campus wireless network. The network is again being 
reported as ad-hoc.
