I ran into this while testing Ubuntu Mobile. We have a private bug that's been reported about this behavior ( ie. hit cancel on passphrase dialog, can't connect on next try ).
The red herring exists in the file nm_dbus_nmi.c, in the function nm_dbus_get_wireless_user_key_done(), lines: 66-72: ------- /* FIXME: since we're not marking the device as invalid, it's a fair bet * that NM will just try to reactivate the device again, and may fail * to get the user key in exactly the same way, which ends up right back * here... ad nauseaum. Figure out how to deal with a failure here. */ nm_ap_list_append_ap (data->invalid_ap_list, ap); -------- This code is run when the response from the NMI:getKeyForNetwork dbus message is received with the error NMI_DBUS_USER_KEY_CANCELED_ERROR. If the user tries to connect to the same network again, since the ap is on the invalid_ap_list, you see the following error in the log: Dec 16 11:31:07 jens-laptop NetworkManager: <info> SWITCH: terminating current connection 'wlan0' because it's no longer valid. I'll ping upstream and see if I can get any suggestions on how to work around this problem. {{{ % make it-work-just }}} ** Also affects: acton Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Cancel 'Wireles Key Required' dialog, can't connect on subsequent attempt https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124706 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
