I worked around this bug by installing wicd. People should stop saying that it is a kernel or driver bug, or a wpa_supplicant bug. It is a NetworkManager bug, because wicd does not have this problem.
In the specific case where I see it, which is a campus network with hundreds of access points, wicd shows me all the separate access points but doesn't roam between them gratuitously. I get 35-40% packet loss with NetworkManager and 0-1% packet loss with wicd. I'm really amazed that the upstream developers are either not aware or don't want to fix this! -- network-manager roams to (none) ((none)) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/291760 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
