Fwd: Re: F16 NetworkManager icon showing connecting when connected

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Below are a couple messages from the Gnome networkmanager list on a problem I am having in F16.  The implication is that there is a patch to address the problem.  Is this patch going to be applied to F16 and F17?

The patch needed is fairly simple:

http://bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=225900

it should be possible to apply this as a patch in the .spec file for NM
and rebuild the packages locally.

On my Lenovo X120e with F16 and Gnome 3 at conferences in hotels (where 
there tend to be LOTS of SSIDs with overlapping channel usage), I 
frequently get a situation where the Network Manager icon is showing the 
... when it is connected.


I am constantly taking my computer in and out of suspend mode as I move 
from meeting session to meeting session and then connecting to a 
different AP on the same SSID and perhaps the same channel (I HATE the 
current Network Manager that does not provide connection info like 
channel, performance, BSSID, etc.).

It is not uncommon that at some point I get into the situation I am now 
with the ... showing when I can tell I am connected (as I will have no 
trouble sending this email!).  If I click on the icon I can see that I 
am connected with all 4 lines of the radio symbol.  This problem will 
persist across all SSIDs (here I am switching between the hotel and 
conference SSID) until I reboot.

I am current on all updates with F16 as of last night.
