This bug was fixed in the package network-manager - 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu5 --------------- network-manager (0.9.4.0-0ubuntu5) quantal; urgency=low
* debian/network-manager.upstart: add "and static-network-up" to ensure the loopback device is really up before we start dnsmasq. (LP: #993379) * debian/patches/git_kernel_ipv6_default_route_77de91e.patch: avoid fighting with the kernel for what IPv6 default route should be set: let the kernel set his own, then add a new route with a different metric so that we can go back and remove it later. (LP: #988183) * debian/patches/nm-ip6-rs.patch: avoid disconnections due to RDNSS expiry, send a Router Sollicit to try and get new RDNSS data. (LP: #993571) * debian/patches/git_remove_ifpppstatsreq_6b64e4d.patch: remove the use of the ifpppstatsreq struct, which has been dropped in newer kernels: use ifreq and ppp_stats separately instead. -- Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre <mathieu...@ubuntu.com> Wed, 23 May 2012 15:28:36 -0400 ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993571 Title: Wifi disconnect/reconnects fairly often (from multiple times an hour to multiple times per day) because of ip-config-unavailable Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “network-manager” source package in Precise: In Progress Status in “network-manager” package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: To start with, let me confirm that I do NOT have any message in my kernel log complaining about the kernel not being able to set the default IPv6 route, so that's a different bug from the what you're probably thinking about ;) This one happens every few minutes or every few hours, as far as I can tell, only on wireless networks (for a yet unknown reason) and only on dual-stack networks. I reproduced it on a variety of equipment (3 laptops, 2 with 2 different intel wireless chips, one with atheros) and on 4 different brands of access points. Only thing in common, the network configuration is almost identical. That's a standard dual-stack setup with IPv4 provided over DHCP and IPv6 through radvd (SLAAC) with RDNSS set. I'm attaching a debug log. Look for "ip-config-unavailable" to spot the few occurrences of the bug in it.
