Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
I'm using feisty herd 3 updated as of today 8th Jan 2007.
I try to connect to my WPA-PSK wireless network using an atheros wifi
card in my laptop. For some reason sometimes it doesn't want to connect,
even though it has the key stored in gnome-keyring when I select the
ssid in NM it spends a while looking then it asks for a key.
After looping through this multiple times I gave up and switched to NM
--no-daemon mode. From what I could tell I was able to connect to the AP
and then DHCP sent out a discover. After a minute or so it just fails.
If we are supposed to be falling back to avahi, then why does avahi-
autoip not kick in at this point. Especially as I clearly have the
correct key and it has been authenticated by the AP. At least NM should
state that it can't get an address rather than just ask for a new key.
I believe this has been discussed before in bug #30213, however that was
in slightly different circumstances.
On a related note using wireshark from another PC I can see that a DHCP
discover is being sent from the laptop (ath0) and an offer is sent in reply (at
least twice). These are obviously not being picked up, however that's another
issue.
