Playing with the settings of my wireless router, I found that no connection can be established when the wireless network is hidden. In open mode it takes a long time to get the network working. The attached syslog documents a test sequence that is reproducible:
- During restart the wireless network is set to open mode; Network Manager tries to connect (syslog time 12:42:46), fails (12:45:16) and tries a second time with success (12:45:56). - Then I switch the wireless network to hidden mode (12:49:59), Network Manager looses the connection, but the connection is reestablished shortly after. - I then disable wireless with a right click on the Network Manager applet (12:50:50) and enable it again (12:51:03). The network is found, but Network Manager is not able to fully set up the connection and asks for the password after a while. I cancel the password dialog (12:54:20). The network uses WPA-PSK security, my computer has an Atheros AR5221 802.11abg wireless device and uses the ath_pci driver with Intrepid, Linux 2.6.27-7 and the PPA Package (sorry for some wrong information about the device in an earlier posting). Hidden mode wireless with WPA- PSK was working with Hardy, hidden mode with no security or WEP is working with Intrepid. ** Attachment added: "syslog.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19888927/syslog.txt -- [iwl*] intel drivers take overly long to associate to WPA for some hardware https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263963 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
