Hi,
just want to report some wifi mess up in this system.
I'm using networkmgr integrated with a very handsome xfce desktop to manage wireless networks and actually have 2 network entries in wpa_supplicant.conf.
It happens that when switching networks the system get 2 IP's for the same interface and this results in no network a headache with a strong wifi signal.
It's a bug, it's clearly a bug.
When switching networks the interface MUST cleanup the previous network settings.
The only way to fix this issue is by forcefully delete one of the addresses:
# ifconfig wlan0 delete 192.168.123.45
In the forum I keep on getting responses like I should use Linux drivers, buy one wifi dongle or that I've a networking problem at home, etc.
If that's the case I should never be able to post this message right now.
The network is working just fine until the system reboots or switch to another network if I move the laptop to other place.
So it's not the WIFI drivers problem!!!
It's services like dhcp or whatever aren't doing their job properly.
