FS#549 - net-configurator wlan configuration issue

DetailsFirst the hard facts(version, hw):
EeePC 701 4g Now for the problem. I try to configure my wlan through the configurator but I couldn’t set it up since it constantly rescanned and also refreshed/wiped all the other fields(ESSID, Pass Key, Profile Name) each time I tried to enter them. I changed the refresh and rescan times in the options but it didn’t respect them. On top of that the constant refreshing seriously loaded the system and caused quite a bit of battery use(not to mention heat).
After a reboot though it is now respecting them and I can actually configure wlan. |
As I courdn't connect using the onboard wifi card I switched to a USB one and the problem reappeared. After rebooting with the USB wlan adapter plugged in it works again(not that I can connect but the interface)
Looks like this problem only happens when you have more than one wireless device, can you confirm that you have this problem only when you are using 2 wifi interfaces ? (if you have only one, you have the problem of the fast scannings too ?)
It happens with one or two and I guess more Wifi adapters.
