[Bug 291081] [NEW] network manager fails to get connected

[janl]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: knetworkmanager

Hi,

Ubuntu 8.04.1, up to date about every day.

I keep my laptop on for days, sometimes weeks.  Until very recently this
was unproblematic.  In the last month or so I've had two long uptimes
where network manager stopped working.  Currently my uptime is 5 days 20
hours.  What I see is a disconnected knetwork manager icon.  I can
right-click it and get the list of wireless networks, choose my network
and then it goes to 28% and then shows "Connection Failure", "Could not
connect to the network LWLB". This happens within 2-3 seconds.  If
dhclient was running it's dead at this point.

If I then in a root shell set the ESSID to LWLB and run dhclient eth1
manually I get online anyway.  dhclient gets the dhcp lease right away.
No delays.

"modprobe -rv ipw2200" and then reinstalling the module does not help.

It's as if network manager has lost touch with the device somehow.

Right now I can reproduce this at will - until I reboot my laptop.  I
can probably keep it on for some days or even weeks longer.

Regards,
  Nicolai
