We could keep a list of hardware where authentication was rejected, so that we won't keep on trying to reconnect with a wrong password. But we should keep on retrying, if the fault was a connection fault only, but not a reject due to wrong credentials.
Probably in NM we should have a menu entry "Reconnect" which deletes the list of wrong password access points and tries to reconnect to the already authenticated access point. If matching access points exist and reconnecting fails for all available access points, we should get an error message with an OK button (default) and a button "enter new credentials" to get a password dialog to enter a new password. But the user should get these dialogs only when actively editing the network preferences and trying to reconnect, but not when just using the network. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/615239 Title: Every Wi-Fi disconnection is treated as an authentication error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/615239/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
