Package: netapplet
Version: 0.99.3-4
Severity: grave

After installation of netapplet my wireless connection went down for no 
obvious reason. It could take an hour but also only after a few minutes. At 
first I did not have a clue what caused this problem. Later on I found that 
the configuration file in /etc/sysconfig/network/ named 
ifcfg-wlan-id-<mac-addres> was changed. The values of WIRELESS_ESSID and 
WIRELESS_KEY_0 had been changed from there orginal value to "any" and empty 
respectively and also in the wlan device. Consequently the connection did 
not work anymore. Finally lsof revealed that netdaemon was the cause. After 
removing netdaemon/netapplet my wireless connection was stable again. It 
took weeks to uncover this problem, although it teached me a lot about the 
internals of the network setup.

In my view netdaemon should not change anything in such a configuration 
without consulting the user. It messed up a perfectly running connection.

-- System Information:
SuSE 9.2
Kernel: 2.6.8-24.14-default
netapplet comes as an rpm with SuSE 9.2

Wireless setup:
Q-TEC card Wireless 54G
Chipset: Marvell W8300
Driver: ndiswrapper with Windows XP driver for this card.

I don't think other information is relevant for this problem.

This doesn't happen under Debian...

And this is the Debian bugtracking system. Please file a bug with Suse
or contact the upstream developers.
