Description Thomas Lottmann 2011-09-12 11:58:00 CEST
Hello,

Sometimes, and for a reason that is very obscur to me, the wireless list appears suddenly empty, even when my wireless adaptater is turned on. 

Turning it on and off does not solve the issue. List would be filled again only after refreshing manually once the network has been established successfully. If it has failed, it may not. 

There is no way to reproduce it clearly in all cases. It seems quite random. 

See at 10:00 of the following screen video : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1946207/Bug_wireless/Weird_connection_no_info.ogv

Thank you.

Screenshot showing the bug

On the screenshot, the tool is apparently attempting to connect, but shows an empty wireless list (except the hotspot he's trying to connect).

Pinging, because nothing has happened with this report for more than 3 months, it still has the status NEW or REOPENED.


@ Blino

Please set status to ASSIGNED if you think this bug was assigned correctly. If for work flow reasons you can't do that, then please put OK on the whiteboard instead. Don't change anything if you want to be pinged by me in this report again ;)

Bug is still there. This is not something new, it occurs since a very long time.

I have it, too, but I don't care as long as it sees the access point I try to connect to, and as long as it doesn't hide any when trying to set up a new connection. So far those things didn't give any problems.

Did it ever keep you from connecting?
Comment 8 Thomas Lottmann 2012-01-29 19:34:43 CET
Yes it did, sadly enough. I sometimes had to wait for five complete minutes without clicking on "Refresh" to update the list for seeing wireless hotspots again.  It is worse when it is couples with Bug #2712 .
Comment 9 Marja Van Waes 2012-05-09 15:33:31 CEST

No additionnal information has been asked to me. However, the issue still occurs in Mageia 2, and occurs since Mandriva 2010.0.

Comment 13 Manuel Hiebel 2013-10-22 12:11:34 CEST
This message is a reminder that Mageia 2 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately one month from now Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 2. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '2'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 2's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Mageia 2 is end of life.  If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

Mageia 2 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on ''22 November''. Mageia 2 is no
longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or
bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Mageia
please feel free to click on "Version" change it against that version of Mageia
and reopen this bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
