Description Thomas Lottmann 2011-09-12 12:49:29 CEST 
Hello,
 
Drakroam and Draknetcenter show very frequently an error message while the tool still tries to connect to a wireless hotspot. 

Whatever happens, if the tool has not connected to the hotspot in a setted amount of seconds, it would show the very explicit 'Connection error' message. Generally, the little NetApplet dialog telling we are finally conencted to the hotspot appears soon after. 

Solution:
Drakconnect (or whatever wireless tool that is) should *listen* to NetApplet, as he should know :
- when the connection attempt has started
- at what state the connection process is
- when the connection has succeeded or failed. 

Thank you.

Sorry, but this bug saw no action since more than 2 yrs ago. 
No cauldron package has stayed the same since then.

Closing as OLD

Please reopen if this report is still valid for _current_ cauldron and/or fully
updated Mageia 4
