Public bug reported:
Network-manager is set up to auto-connect to wireless network
(wpa/shared key). This works as expected.
If the network shuts down (just turn off the access-point), after a
couple of minutes, network-manager pops up an "Authorization required by
wireless network" dialog for the network that was just shut down.
This does not make any sense. It is not possible to authorize and
connect to a not existing network ;-)
To make things worse. If the network comes back up (turn on the access
point again), network-manager WILL connect again, as it should. But the
dialog does not disapear.
We are using Ubuntu for a digital signage application. So if the wifi
network is flaky, the pop-up will emerge. And even if a connection is
made later, the pop-up will still be there in the middle of the screen.
Expected behaviour:
- Do not pop-up an authorization-dialog for a "disapearing" connection.
Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop i386
