Public bug reported: Sometimes (twice in the last 4 hours) wi-fi connection goes down and doesn't want to reconnect. When it happens: * nm-applet asks me for WPA password and tries to connect for a very long time. * nm-applet behaves strangely - I can't select another network. * /etc/init.d/networking doesn't help and executes _really_ quickly (0.x second), producing just one line. * when I restart gnome, nm-applet doesn't show wi-fi hotspots at all. * reboot helps. At the same time, my girlfriends windows-based laptop is connected without any problems.
I can't reproduce the bug. I don't know what I can do to troubleshoot this - please tell me and I'll do that next time this thing happens. I'm using gutsy (fresh install) since this morning on Dell Inspiron 1720. I think it happened to me on Feisty (running since I got this laptop in mid August). lspci | grep Wireless 0c:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: networking wi-fi -- wi-fi connection goes down - reboot is required https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/154549 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
