Description of problem: perpetual wifi unconnect with NetworkManager How reproducible: Ever Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install NetworkManager 2. Launch NetworkManager 3. See It's seems to be not a NetworkManager trouble. I don't, and never, have this trouble on my Fedora. Please remove libnm-settings-plugin-ifcfg-mdv.so from Mageia NetworkManager. As 'mandriva-plugin' say : "This is not a production-ready version, nor it is officially supported as of now. (blabla) - at least in theory - it should work (blabla)" Maybe a trouble with nm_inotify_helper_get() Dont know... Simply please drop it for Mageia stable.
Not only libnm-settings-plugin-ifcfg-mdv.so
Status: NEW => RESOLVEDResolution: (none) => INVALID
You should simply edit networkmanager configuration to not use this plugin.

Yesterday, all of a sudden NM couldn't activate my RTL8192SE wlan0. Comparing to an old working system, I found that in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/wireless.d, the script for the ESSID was missing WIRELESS_WPA_REASSOCIATE=no. Adding it fixed things. I also noticed that WIRELESS_WPA_DRIVER=wext wasn't there, but when I added it, ifcfg-mdv segfaulted. I'm thinking maybe both of these were removed because of the segfault.
