Description Alexander Rössler 2008-05-22 06:20:21 UTC

If you turn off the WLAN Card per a hardware button on the notebook the Networkmanager dont finds the Network automatically if you turn it on, you must start it manually.

Comment 1 Helmut Schaa 2008-05-26 07:16:23 UTC

Alexander, could you please attach /var/log/NetworkManager one minute after enabling wireless using the killswitch?

Comment 2 Alexander Rössler 2008-05-26 17:52:19 UTC

No change in the logfile

PS: the bug only appears if you started the notebook up with WLAN switched to off

Comment 3 Helmut Schaa 2008-05-28 13:53:04 UTC

Which wireless card do you use?

Comment 4 Alexander Rössler 2008-05-28 14:23:39 UTC

Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG

Comment 5 Alexander Rössler 2008-05-28 14:24:46 UTC

The Notebook is Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi1536

Comment 6 Helmut Schaa 2008-05-28 14:36:04 UTC

Could you please check if "iwlist scan" finds your access point after turning wireless off and on again using the killswitch?

Maybe a duplicate of bug #391774.

Comment 7 Alexander Rössler 2008-05-28 14:53:48 UTC

It wirtes:
wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning: Network is down

Comment 8 Helmut Schaa 2008-06-18 15:56:50 UTC
