iwl4965 + NetworkManager / wpa_supplicant Problem
Hi everybody I have laptop with intel 4965agn wireless adapter inside. And Fedora 7 x86_64 , kernel 2.6.22-33, latest from updates. The problem is that the NetworkManager (and wpa_suppliant too) can not connect to the wireless network with such error in /var/log/messages Jul 28 16:09:36 localhost kernel: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready But it is not always happen. Sometimes it works. And i found that the wireless always work if: 1) in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf i use ap_scan = 2 2) service wpa_supplicant start 3) in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf i change ap_scan value to 1 (ap_scan = 1) 4) service wpa_supplicant restart and it works always like it should. If i do not change wpa_supplicant.conf - the wireless not work. Thats very strange for me. The Kde NetworkManager applet cant connect too. But i can not change ap_scan in networkmanager applet :( So this is harder to use. It works only if: 1) in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf i use ap_scan = 2 2) service wpa_supplicant start 3) service wpa_supplicant stop 4) In kde network manager upplet i connect to wireless netrowk (and in /var/log/messages there is such record: Jul 28 16:09:37 localhost NetworkManager: info SUP: sending command 'AP_SCAN 1' So, i can connect to wireless network only if i try to connect with ap_scan=2, and right after that i try to connect with ap_scan=1. I have two questions: 1) How can i change AP_SCAN value in NetworkManager ? 2) How can i fix the problem with my wireless adapter? I'm trying to get following result: 1) I do not use service wpa_supplicant start at all 2) I connect to wireless network with only KNetworkManager applet Please help :-( -- WBR, Dmitry Ananyev [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
Dial-up setting for Motorola V360 using EDGE mobile network.
Is it possible to use the Network Manager Applet under Ubuntu 7.04 for dial-up to the Internet using a Motorola V360 mobile (EDGE mobile network). I have it working using pon/poff and my setting is as shown below. But I cannot find a way to do the setting so that the Network Manager Applet can be used to connect and disconnect the connection, please help.

Re: Frequent Disconnects

Taken from the bug report, changed src/nm-device-802-11-wireless.c, line 2318 from self-priv-link_timeout = g_timeout_source_new (8000); to self-priv-link_timeout = g_timeout_source_new (2 I am willing to try this, although I think the first step would be to eliminate the possibility of a driver problem. Did you try this? So I'm confused. That's a fix in Network Manager source, but I thought the problem was suppose to be in the Atheros driver not in Network Manager. Or does that longer timeout just suppress the detection of the Atheros driver disconnecting so that Network Manager doesn't show the disconnect? What's the status of .7? If that is indeed a fix then will that make it in .7? I'm also waiting for .7 to have a system wide store for my WPA keys. -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

[cut] Hi, on ubuntu feisty fawn you can manage your dial-up connections simply creating an entry for each of them in /etc/network/interfaces. The only odd thing is that with the nm included in feisty, dbus doesn't get notified by nm that a connection is available, so many programs stay in off-line mode :-| For the moment i'm using a package i've found on ubuntuforums.org built for feisty some time ago on a cvs snapshot of the 0.7 version and, i'm able to manage dial-up connections and even if it's not completely stable... that's better than nothing ;-) cheers Roberto -- Roberto Scelzo Multimedia Center Software S.a.s.

wpa_supplicant.conf would only be used if you managed it yourself and
not via Network-Manager.
It is in the source under nm-device-802-11-wireless.c look for:
const char *ap_scan = AP_SCAN 1;
HOWEVER, looking over the code it looks like the code is different
than I remember and uses ap_scan 2 when the AP is non-broadcast. You
could try changing that to 1 and see if that helps but the easiest way
to do this would be to create a wpa_supplicant.conf and call it from
wpa_supplicant manually and see if you can associate.
There are some examples here:
http://www.rrze.uni-erlangen.de/dienste/internet-zugang/wlan/wpa_supplicant.conf
If you are using wpa psk try this as a wpa_supplicant.conf:
network={
ssid=yourssid
scan_ssid=1
# try both 1 and 2 here
psk=your preshared key
}
Then call it with:
wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/path/to/wpa_supplicant.conf -ddd
Replace wlan0 with your interface (-ddd triggers a lot of debugging).
