Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
Hi
I had the same problem with network-manager in 9.04 also. Right now I am using
fully updated (yesterday updated) 9.10 rc.
In 9.04 I was able to solve this problem by writing a small script that
regularly checks for internet connectivity and restarts network manager if
connection is missing. Restarting network manager always worked with whatever
wireless network I have configured as autoconnect.
Now this techniqure no longer works with 9.10, atleast not consistantly.
The biggest problem that I see with karmic is "if I am disconnected due
to some reason, and I select the desired network from the drop down
menu, it does nothing. It just shows a notification that the "<selected
network name> is disconnected". In jaunty I was always able to connect
manually again to the same network. But not with karmic. I am not sure
whether its some configuration issue due to an upgrade from jaunty or a
bug with karmic itself. As I have not yet tried a fresh installation. I
am hoping if somebody else has the same problem, I dont need to
reinstall. But if you think that the problem is specific to my system I
am open to install a fresh copy of Karmic or wipeout my home directory
so that it creates new configuration for everything. Please Let me know
what kind of info is required in case no one else is affected by it.
