** Description changed:
Binary package hint: network-manager
Network Manager 0.7 prompts for the encryption key for two APs (Access
- Points) simultaneously, Also, there is no AP identifier in the
- encryption key request dialog-box so the user has no idea which dialog-
- box represents which AP, or even that the two dialog-boxes represent two
+ Points) simultaneously (I haven't checked if this also affects 0.6 but
+ I'm betting it does). Also, there is no AP identifier in the encryption
+ key request dialog-box so the user has no idea which dialog-box
+ represents which AP, or even that the two dialog-boxes represent two
different APs (they may not know the physical details of the network).
In this scenario there are two APs operating (WDS) Wireless Distribution
System LAN-mode (AP + clients) on 802.11g. Being WDS, both routers are
on the same channel (in this case, 13) and both have the same BSSID,
which is hidden. AP #1 is also the network gateway.
A roaming laptop is prompted via nm-applet to connect to the network's
entry in the notify-icon's drop-down list. The icon indicates with the
first 'LED' lit it is attempting to connect to the network, and
immediately two dialog-boxes appear, overlapping each other.
Network-manager should serialise this process so that if the first
connection succeeds the second one is never attempted, and therefore no
encryption key is requested. As an enhancement it should indicate there
is more than one AP available.
