NA, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily- live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: needs-kernel-logs ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Attachment removed: "Syslog File" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/999977/+attachment/3410003/+files/syslog ** Attachment removed: "syslog" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/999977/+attachment/3369258/+files/syslog ** Attachment removed: "Syslog with wpa debug enabled" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/999977/+attachment/3274015/+files/syslog.zip -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/999977 Title: [rt73usb] WPA2 Authentication Requested Multiple Times Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Connecting to the WiFi LAN the first time when the PC has booted up with Ubuntu 12.04 is ok. However after a while there is a disconnection from the LAN. When network-manager attempts to reconnect it takes a long time before a WPA2 authentication dialog pops up asking for the password. After a while the same dialog pops up multiple times even though the dialog popped up the first time. When entering in the correct password to connect to the LAN via the dialog, network-manager takes a long time to connect but pops up with the same dialog again. No network connecion is ever made. A temporary workaround is to disable networking and re-enable it again from the network-manager applet. However if another connection needs to be made to the LAN then the same problems occur, and the workaround must be used again. This authentication issue is serious and if the workaround no longer works then the problem becomes a critical one. Noticed the same problems occuring on other PCs running Ubuntu 12.04, which use a ralink wireless chipset. It appears as though this problem affects all Ubuntu 12.04 PCs that use a ralink wirless chipset for WiFi networking. In the previous Ubuntu LTS version (10.04) the authentication problem rarely occured. Initially in Ubuntu 12.04 it was like Ubuntu 10.04 but after some updates then authentication problem has become much worse (huge regression).
