[Bug 520608] [NEW] knetworkmanager disconnects and will not reconnect until after reboot

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

On one of my wireless networks,  knetworkmanager will occasionally
disconnect.  When it tries to reconnect it displays the network secrets
dialog and will not reconnect until I reboot the machine.   The problem
also happens if I put the machine to sleep and wakeup.

Also,  plasma becomes very unresponsive after this event making it hard
to logout.  I did eventually get it to log out and back in and that
doesn't fix the problem;  it has to be rebooted. I've also tried killing
and restarting knetworkmanager and /etc/networking without success.

I'm up to having to reboot my laptop twice a day and can't put it to
sleep.   Ug.  :(
