I am not sure if this made it to the list
or not as I didn’t receive any replies. This behavior is
killing my network now. I get abour 40-50% signal strength but the
connection drops everyone so often and when it does the below situation occurs
and I don’t get a reconnect. I am pretty sure this must be a
bug in 0.6.6. (As a side not I think the behavior in the situation
in 0.6.5 was a seg fault but I had a swatch script that watched for NM crashes
and restarted the service and hence the connection). Thank you in advance for your help and
time! -- Phil Culver From: Philip A. Culver
[mailto:pculver bostonatlantic net] Hello, I am using Fedora 7 with a kernel (modified) based off of
Fedora 2.6.23.15-80, madwifi drivers, and NetworkManager 0.6.6. The scenario is thus:
I have repeated this a few times now. I suspect that
the normal exit event from DHCP is scheduling a failure during the activation
of the new connection which somehow kills wpa_supplicant. Am I even close
on this one? Below is the messages log I saw. Apr 30 15:04:49 localhost dhclient:
