[Bug 1062985] Re: Connecting to some wireless networks does not work in battery mode

 

forteller, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please just make a comment to this.

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

** Tags added: latest-bios-v1.27

** Tags added: needs-upstream-testing regression-potential

** Description changed:

- I have this setup:
- 
- Ubuntu 12.10 64bit (fully up to date)
- 
- # lspci | grep -i ethernet
- 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM57760 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 01)
- 
  And the problem is this: When the laptop is not connected to external
  power my network-manager tells me I'm still connected to the WiFi
  network. I can disconnect it and reconnect it, no problem. But none of
  my applications can actually get online on my home network, not Software
  Updater, Dropbox, Firefox or anything else I've tried. But on another
  wireless network I tried I could connect just fine, and the same is the
  case for wired networks.
