Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager

each time the computer starts the first time, the network manager fails to connect to my wireless network (WPA protected). The nm-applet shows its moving icon but can't connect and after some time, it just tell me not connected. The scanning of several wirelsee network in my neigborhood is also not fully displayed.

The notebook is an eeepc asus 1008HA with atheros wireless card (using ath9k driver)

A workarround is unfortunately to kill the network manager (sudo killall NetworkManager) and then restart it again (sudo NetworkManager). Mostly I need to repeat that 3-4 times before connecting to my router.

FYI: last Karmic (Alpha4)

Hi Mathieu,

thanks for files Mathieu.
You still have the problem at boot this evening?
For me it looks like that the connection was successfull this at boottime.
Could it be?

yes, Joern, I didn't had any problems this evening regarding my wifi connection.
since a few day, I do not have any issue during booting, but somewhen the connection is simply lost (after working some time) and I can't connect to my wifi network. I try then to kill the NetworkManager and restart it but without any success. I don't know why this happens. I can't reproduce the bug; it seems to me that it is a random process, unfortunately.

Hi Mathieu,

last night I take a long look to your logfiles.
And for me it looks like a temporary authentification error.
When it's ok for you, please set the bug on "fix commited", or I do it.
If the problem should occur again, open the bug again and upload the current logfiles.

I hope my help was satisfactory.

Best wishes
