Package: network-manager
Version: 0.8.9997-1
Followup-For: Bug #636137
(note: this is a copy of the same notes I wrote in redhat's bugzilla
#713006, adjusted to Debian's version of network-manager)
I think I might found the problem,
>From latest git pull, On line 3281-3283 in src/nm-manager.c :
old_enabled = radio_enabled_for_rstate (rstate, TRUE);
rstate->user_enabled = enabled;
new_enabled = radio_enabled_for_rstate (rstate, FALSE);
When disabling a wifi, old_enabled != new_enabled and new_enabled == 0;
Which in turn will run the following lines:
if (new_enabled != old_enabled) {
manager_update_radio_enabled (self, rstate, new_enabled);
/* For WiFi only (for now) set the actual kernel rfkill state */
if (rstate->rtype == RFKILL_TYPE_WLAN)
rfkill_change_wifi (rstate->desc, new_enabled);
}
But when re-enabling wifi, the case will be: old_enabled == new_enabled
and new_enabled == 0; which in that case the enabling code will never
get ran.
I "fix" it by moving around the check and enabling code and hackishly set
new_enabled=1 when old_enabled == new_enabled == 0.
Seems to work, but it also throwing out some funny messages that might
just wanna kill my device :)
Here's hoping for a _real_fix_soon (tm) :)
