Problems connecting to wireless unencrypted networks
Last modified: 2006-04-21 12:13:25 UTC
The last bug fixed the crash. Now when i have the network wire connected and select a wireless network from nm-applet it seems to try to change to the wireless network but falls back to the wired one. This is the output of the daemon (eth0 is the wired network, eth1 is the wireless): Jan 13 00:28:19 calisto NetworkManager: <debug info>^I[1137108499.429367] (): Forcing AP 'DTU Wireless' Jan 13 00:28:19 calisto NetworkManager: <information>^IUser Switch: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/eth1 / DTU Wireless Jan 13 00:28:19 calisto NetworkManager: <information>^IDeactivating device eth1.

i just tried the CVS version, the problem persists, but this time the logs are different: Jan 18 16:30:13 calisto NetworkManager: <debug info>^I[1137598213.364105] nm_device_802_11_wireless_get_activation_ap (): Forcing AP 'DTU Wireless' Jan 18 16:30:13 calisto NetworkManager: <information>^IUser Switch: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/eth1 / DTU Wireless Jan 18 16:30:13 calisto NetworkManager: <information>^IDeactivating device eth1.
