Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
1) Create a new wireless network. (I am sharing a wired connection over
wireless)
2) set WEP 5 character encryption key
3) connect to network (in this case with either a mobile phone or another
ubuntu computer)
4) do some stuff
Then, sporadically, network manager on the machine which is sharing the
internet connection will ask for the encryption key again. It shows the
hex equivalent of the original 5 ascii char key, but it does work fine.
Expected behaviour:
The key is never asked for again on the host computer
Actual:
The key is asked for repeatedly
This line:
Activation (ra0/wireless): access point 'waster10' has security, but secrets
are required.
is way back in my logs, but I don't think this appeared with the occurrences of
being asked for the key again.
And this:
Mar 27 09:07:04 stu-magd2676 NetworkManager: <WARN> get_secrets_cb(): Couldn't
get connection secrets: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message
bus).

'waster10' invalid.
Mar 27 09:07:04 stu-magd2676 NetworkManager: <info> Activation (ra0) failed.
Is it rescanning for other networks, thereby bringing down the active network?
Jaunty beta.
Running either by b43 bcm4306 card or an edimax ralink 2870 - same result.
