Package: netapplet Version: 0.99.3-4 Severity: grave After installation of netapplet my wireless connection went down for no obvious reason. It could take an hour but also only after a few minutes. At first I did not have a clue what caused this problem. Later on I found that the configuration file in /etc/sysconfig/network/ named ifcfg-wlan-id-<mac-addres> was changed. The values of WIRELESS_ESSID and WIRELESS_KEY_0 had been changed from there orginal value to "any" and empty respectively and also in the wlan device. Consequently the connection did not work anymore. Finally lsof revealed that netdaemon was the cause. After removing netdaemon/netapplet my wireless connection was stable again. It took weeks to uncover this problem, although it teached me a lot about the internals of the network setup.
In my view netdaemon should not change anything in such a configuration without consulting the user. It messed up a perfectly running connection. -- System Information: SuSE 9.2 Kernel: 2.6.8-24.14-default netapplet comes as an rpm with SuSE 9.2 Wireless setup: Q-TEC card Wireless 54G Chipset: Marvell W8300 Driver: ndiswrapper with Windows XP driver for this card. I don't think other information is relevant for this problem. -- fr.gr. Beelaerts ICT Consultancy Freek de Kruijf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
