GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 571739
Reconnection
Last modified: 2020-11-12 14:33:21 UTC
When the connection with a wireless modem falls (e.g. shutdown, restart modem) the manager ask the password of the connection. If I cancel or close dialog, the connection doesn't work anymore and i need restart the OS (/25NetworkManager stop,/25NetworkManager start)doesn't work too.
Which version of NetworkManager is this using?
nm-applet 0.6.6
Is the dialog asking your for your keyring password?
Yes! Appears a dialog prompting the password of the SSID, but if i type correct or close the dialog, the connection with this SSID doesn't work anymore. I need to restart the SO. (.../25networkmanager stop/start and force-reload doesn't work to reconnect this SSID)
Created attachment 130889 [details] Part of daemon.log Part of the daemon.log in wich occurs the fact described.
This is very the same is happening to my laptop. When I suspend it or hibernate it, the wireless goes down, it's impossible to take it up again, and I need to reboot completely the system. Ver: Ubuntu 8.10 Wireless dev: Atheros based. System: Compaq Presario CQ60 120-ES

If after hibernate/sleep you can 'rmmod ath_pci' and then 'modprobe ath_pci' and it works again, then the driver is definitely broken and should get fixed. But this bug is actually about a different problem with an older version of NetworkManager.
bugzilla.gnome.org is being shut down in favor of a GitLab instance. We are closing all old bug reports and feature requests in GNOME Bugzilla which have not seen updates for a long time. If you still use NetworkManager and if you still see this bug / want this feature in a recent and supported version of NetworkManager, then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/ Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented (workforce and time is unfortunately limited).
