Something is wrong, and I have spent several hours trying to track it down with no success. I have a Lenovo R51 (http://www.charlescurley.com/Lenovo.R51.html) with ipw2200. I have been using NetworkManager (NM). The network, including wireless, has been working continuously throughout this morning. Last night while running kernel-2.6.16-1.2133_FC5, I suspended the machine. The wireless networking was working when I did it. When I fired up the machine in the morning, NM failed to connect to the network. I restarted NM. It insisted on a key for the network. I gave it the correct one. No joy. For the rest of this description, rebooting is defined as: shut down, remove the power cord and battery, wait 5 minutes by the clock, and power up again. I installed and rebooted to kernel-2.6.17-1.2145_FC5. Same dance. I fell back to kernel-2.6.16-1.2133_FC5, on which wireless networking worked quite well. Same dance. I then fell back to NetworkManager-0.6.2-2.fc5, which used to work just fine. With all three of these kernels, I saw the same dance. I got on the network successfully with Ubuntu 6.06 live DVD and Windows XP. I am now running kernel-2.6.17-1.2145_FC5, NM shut down and removed from the system start-up scripts, and configuration via "service network start". It works just fine. I have been tracking "kernel-2.6.17-1.2139_FC5 breaks ACPI S3 on T42p", bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196835. My notes on what I have done are in comment 13. I believe this is the first time I have suspended since the latest upgrade to NM: [root@dragon ~]# grep -i networkmanager /var/log/yum.log May 13 07:16:34 Updated: NetworkManager.i386 0.6.2-2.fc5 May 13 07:17:12 Updated: NetworkManager-gnome.i386 0.6.2-2.fc5 May 13 07:18:30 Updated: NetworkManager-glib.i386 0.6.2-2.fc5 Jul 01 13:37:20 Updated: NetworkManager.i386 0.6.3-1.fc5 Jul 01 13:39:48 Updated: NetworkManager-glib.i386 0.6.3-1.fc5 Jul 01 13:39:49 Updated: NetworkManager-gnome.i386 0.6.3-1.fc5 Jul 07 11:19:01 Erased: NetworkManager-gnome Jul 07 11:19:14 Erased: NetworkManager Jul 07 11:19:15 Erased: NetworkManager-glib But NM being the sole culprit does not explain why NM failed after falling back to the older version. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
