But of course the only way we bake nl80211 is by switching to it... iirc, we currently we hardcode wext in NM code.

Now we can do it in the service file. Never the less ConnMan got its own switch to choose which driver will be used. Does help a lot in testing and is way easier since you don't have to restart wpa_supplicant all the time.

Network Shares disconnected by Network Manager
Regarding Ubuntu launchpad bug : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/211631?comments=all (brief summary : During shutdown/restart, Network Manager brings down wifi interface so quickly that remote samba filesystems in fstab hang with the CIFS VFS server not responding error.) In comment 117, James asks : Would it be possible for NetworkManager to bring up down configured mount points as part of it's configuration settings? That way, it unmounts just before bringing the network down and mounts the filesystems after bring the network up ? A simple checkbox would suffice e.g Control Network Shares. Is this feasible, or on the Network Manager roadmap already? Note that this bug is only apparent on WIFI connected systems. A wired connection is apparently kept up long enough such that the remote filesystems are unmounted cleanly. Also ticking Available to all users has no effect on this bug. It would seem to require some hacking of the Network Manager app itself and the way it processes WIFI connections on shutdown/restart. ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

With the current design of NetworkManager how hard is it to implement being able to connect to both at the same time? Are there any plans to implement this in the foreseeable future? It's been discussed a few times on the mailing list. It's not hard, it probably involves doing both the PPPoE and the normal IP4 config in parallel like the IP4 and IP6 are done right now. It's definitely been requested quite a few times. If I may ask, what's your network setup?

I tried setting iwlagn parameters (disable_hw_scan, sw_crypto ... almost every combination possible) but nothing changed. Is it possible to increase the authentication timeout? Maybe this is a dumb question but I wasn't able to find any documentation about timeouts. The full WPA connection timeout for NM is about 30 seconds. That's usually plenty of time for the supplicant to scan, find the AP, initiate the 4-way handshake, and finish it, *especially* for WPA. I'm very curious about why your setup is taking longer. You can put the option -dddt into your /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/fi.epitest.hostap.WPASupplicant.service file at teh end of the Exec= line, then 'killall -TERM wpa_supplicant', then attempt to reproduce the issue, and mail me /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log so we can see what's going on.
