Public bug reported: Binary package hint: wpasupplicant
I recently installed 8.10 on my laptop and i'm having some problems with the wireless network. Whenever i get disconnected, the system gets stuck in a reassociation loop. This happens often at work, but never at home, cause the AP is in the same room, so the signal is stronger there. Both are wep encrypted AP's. This is an example from dmesg: [14965.525094] wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:1c:58:10:25:40 [14965.533441] wlan0: authenticated [14965.533446] wlan0: associate with AP 00:1c:58:10:25:40 [14965.537401] wlan0: RX ReassocResp from 00:1c:58:10:25:40 (capab=0x431 status=0 aid=114) [14965.537405] wlan0: associated [14967.378478] wlan0: deauthenticated [14968.376102] wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:1c:58:10:25:40 [14968.377786] wlan0: authenticated [14968.377791] wlan0: associate with AP 00:1c:58:10:25:40 [14968.381197] wlan0: RX ReassocResp from 00:1c:58:10:25:40 (capab=0x431 status=0 aid=115) [14968.381202] wlan0: associated [14970.274021] wlan0: deauthenticated I found this on the fedora bugtracker: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=477821 According to this, it would be an issue with wpasupplicant. Killing wpasupplicant (sudo killall wpa_supplicant) makes the loop stop, and networkmanager stops connecting as well. After it reconnects, it is stable for a while. So, can you please fix wpasupplicant (or the kernel)? And why does networkmanager need wpasupplicant for this at all? Connecting to a wep network does not require a wpa daemon and works also with commandline tools like iwconfig.
