I have now seen a second case of this, the symptoms were sudden loss of network throughput but NM and the Netspeed applet both showed the connection still working. Reselecting my home SSID from the list in NM's left click menu resulted in an attempt to reconnect that never succeeded. On opening the WPA settings via NM's right-click edit menu the passphrase was blank. Re-entering it sorted the problem out. I see there is a new wpa-supplicant in updates-testing, do I need that too? I will restart with the updated NM and see if anything has changed. -- Brian ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

This is odd, but before we do anything else, can you try the NM in updates-testing? I haven't seen this at all but it could point to keyring issues since the WPA passphrase is stored in the keyring.

I should have added that clicking on the network SSID in the NM applet's left click menu does nothing, it doesn't bring up a dialog asking for the connection's secrets and in fact it does precisely nothing. If this ever happened in F11 then I would be prompted for the WPA PSK which no longer happens. -- Brian ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
NM deleting WPA key secret in Fedora 12?
Has anyone else suffered from a problem where on occasion F12 will boot and then be unable to connect to a previously usable AP because the WPA key is no longer stored? My home network has two APs with the same SSID but different BSSIDs on each channel. I have now had this happen twice, the first time I thought it was because it was I had just upgraded from F11 to F12 on my laptop, but it did it again this morning. The fix was to paste my WPA key into the entry field after using the edit menu for my home SSID and then going to the advanced tab (at least I think that's it, don't have it in front of me just now). There is only an SSID stored, no BSSID. Is this a common problem? I didn't see anything in the Fedora Common Bugs page. I have all the latest patches applied to F12 as of a day or two ago, I see there are a load more in updates though so will apply those. This is not very deterministic, it's hit me twice in a dozen boots I think. -- Brian ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
