[Bug 905786] [NEW] network manager looses wireless connection, reconnect not possible

 

Public bug reported:

After a certain time (approximately 8-12h) the wireless connection is
dropped. A reconnect does not work.

I have reported a similar issue with NM 0.7x and 0.8. The issue then
was, that the connection password for WPA2 was encrypted twice.

Was fixed in later releases and now it's back.

I haven't had time to verify in the source code but from what I see,
this seems pretty much the same bug.

Mitigation:

disable wireless
rfkill unblock all
enable wireless

(disable should not block wlan either)
