Public bug reported:
I am using a Belkin device
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 050d:935b Belkin Components
I have successfully compiled the kernel module
"DPO_RT3070_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.2_20100412" against 2.6.38-11 kernel version
(Ubuntu 11.04) and thus my network interface ra0 is up.
I believe I have configured the inferface properly in
/etc/network/interfaces:
auto ra0
iface ra0 inet dhcp
wpa-driver wext
wpa-ssid MYSSID
wpa-ap-scan 1
wpa-proto RSN
wpa-pairwise CCMP
wpa-group CCMP
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-psk MYPSK
since stopping network-manager and doing ifdown ra0 / ifup ra0 gives me
a rock stable connection.
However, with Network Manager applet there are three behaviors :
a) either it keeps asking me for password, tries out for about 15 seconds and
then it fails and asks me again for the password. This happens after reboot.
b) or connects to a IP address which I don't have on my lan: inet
addr:10.42.43.1. This happens after "ifdown ra0" and starting network manager.
c) manages to connect, but it disconnects about 11 seconds, and starts asking
for password (again, after reboot).
I believe this is a network-manager bug, since on version 10.10 that I
upgraded from yesterday everything worked with the same driver /
configuration (But compiled for kernel 2.6.35-28).
One more thing, I had to change NetworkManager.conf to managed=true, otherwise
the applet did not report any WiFi connections and showed a greyed out icon
with an exclamation mark.
On version 10.10 I think I was running with managed=true, since I don't
remember having to change that file to get WiFi to work.
