Hello,
I send an ultimate distress signal about this :
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2712
Once again I am having this bug that can occur on any WPA
hotspot my
laptops can connect to. But now, I cannot work in
my development environment for more than one day because he
refuses
connect me to the hotspot I need to connect to.
Since I got no answer since I opened the bug, as asked
previously in
this ML, I now cry for help about this. This seriously affects
the work
I have to complete everyday (I know I have the printer thing
as well to
answer and solve) and I just cannot do anything about this
except really
endangering my laptop currently, in the absence of progress
concerning
this extremely annoying bug.
Tell me what I should do, I shall answer you very quickly and
give the
answers I am able to fetch if you tell me what is precisely
needed.
Thank you very much by advance.
Thomas aka Skiper.

Is it a DCHP issue? If you use a fixed IP address does the problem
go away? I used to have real issues with Mandriva a few years ago
until I changed the DHCP client in the network setup. Might be
worth a try - might be talking ********!
Nope, still would not work. And still, it has been working fine for
one week before he did me this again without needing a fixed IP.
Note that I can connect to other wireless hotspots, opened or close,
but not the only one I need to. And my ids are supposed to be all
good. And it is the only hotspot where he mixes up config files,
sometimes telling me it is open while there is an Enteprise WPA2 key.
He also keeps my ids instead of deleting them even if I delete the
wireless connection to create it again.
I use drakx-net as well, but it seems different hardware.
I don't know if this will help any, but when I download DVDs using a
wireless hotspot, moving my portable only 20 cm can make a big
difference in whether I get a reliable connexion, and even 10 cm can
make a big difference in download speed. The orientaion of my portable
makes a difference as well.
(I use aria2 which gives me feedback once a minute.)
The strength of the signals vary on different days as well.
In the past (under mdv) I've noticed that in the presence of several
signals, with an unwanted stronger than a wanted signal, it can
sometimes be difficult to make the wanted connexion.
So maybe you can try moving/ re-orienting your computer to get a better
signal.
BTW, are you monitoring the signals when you connect ? That could help
orient the computer.
