output of NetworkManager --no-daemon

Description Bart Whiteley 2006-01-20 06:56:58 UTC 
In NLD10-beta1 I can't connect to my WEP wireless network.  I say Connect to Other Wireless Network, enter my ESSID, select WEP passphrase, and enter the passphrase.  After a while a dialog appears and says that the network requires a network key.  The "wireless security" drop down is set to None, and has no other options available.  So, I can't re-enter my key (not that I should need to).  If I click "Login to Network", the tray icon spins forever, or at least until I give up and run YaST2 to configure the wireless interface the old-school way.

Comment 2 Robert Love 2006-01-20 15:16:59 UTC 

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 138404 ***
Comment 3 Bart Whiteley 2006-02-08 02:47:24 UTC 
Now it asks for a passphrase, but still can't connect to a WEP network, whether it is broadcast or non-broadcast.  

I'm running 0.5.1cvs20060207.  So, it looks like 148646 didn't fix the problem.
Comment 4 Robert Love 2006-02-08 02:52:36 UTC 
You are constantly trying to bring me down, Bart.

Can you attach the log, preferrably when failing to connect to a _broadcast_ network?

And this is orinoco, right?
Comment 5 Robert Love 2006-02-08 02:55:47 UTC 
And is 138404 fixed?  It should be.
Comment 6 Bart Whiteley 2006-02-08 02:57:03 UTC 
yes.  138404 is fixed.

output of NetworkManager --no-daemon 

while trying to connect to a broadcast, WEP network.  It asked for a key 4 times, if I counted right.
Comment 8 Bart Whiteley 2006-02-08 03:58:57 UTC 
driver is orinoco_cs
Comment 9 Robert Love 2006-02-08 15:20:24 UTC 
Association works but then DHCP fails, usually indicitive of the wrong encryption settings.  Odd.

I presume that non-encrypted networks work?
Comment 10 Bart Whiteley 2006-02-08 17:25:24 UTC 
correct.  non-encrypted networks work.
Comment 11 Robert Love 2006-02-08 17:31:21 UTC 
Does `/sbin/lsmod | grep hostap` show anything?

If so, can you reboot, remove any matching modules via `/sbin/modprobe -r`, restart NM, and then try to connect?
Comment 12 Robert Love 2006-02-08 17:42:21 UTC 
There are a handful of hostap drivers: hostap, hostap_cs, hostap_pci, and hostap_plx.

Essentially, I don't want any of those modules loaded; I only want orinoco_cs managing your wireless.

A simpler and better hack might be to do `mv /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/hostap ~`

And then move it back when done testing.
Comment 13 Robert Love 2006-02-08 17:44:55 UTC 
I should have added that you need to reboot after moving the modules away, natch.
Comment 14 Bart Whiteley 2006-02-09 03:39:15 UTC 
'lsmod | grep hostap' yields nothing.
Comment 15 Robert Love 2006-03-03 16:42:06 UTC 
Alright, Bart.  I implement some Orinoco-specific fixes.  I think this latest release has your name all over it.  This is the release where we fix your problems and save the day.

Check out NM 0.5.1cvs20060303 (or later), now submitted to autobuild.

Alternatively, I put packages up:

http://primates.ximian.com/~rml/misc/NetworkManager/

Let me know.  Thank you.
Comment 16 Bart Whiteley 2006-03-04 05:03:29 UTC 
Sorry to say, that it still doesn't work.  The behavior is the same as before.  It continues to work with "traditional ifup". 

Here is the output of NetworkManager --no-daemon

Comment 17 Robert Love 2006-03-04 05:33:36 UTC 
Hrm, the other orinoco users are now reporting success.

The driver associates and begins the DHCP process, the failure thereof seems to indicate the wrong encryption settings.  If you have them right, I am without recourse.
Comment 18 Bart Whiteley 2006-03-04 05:44:15 UTC 
You could go back to the alpha (pre beta1) code that used to work.   :)
Comment 19 Robert Love 2006-03-04 15:11:41 UTC 
The problem is presumably the interaction between wpa_supplicant and the driver.  Old releases did not use wpa_supplicant; now we do, and we need it.
Comment 20 Bart Whiteley 2006-03-06 04:22:05 UTC 
I double checked to make sure I had the key right.  I tried both WEP passphrase and 128bit HEX key.  I cut'n'pasted them to be sure there was no fat finger error.  Neither work, but if I switch to "traditional ifup" it works.  With NM it prompts me for a key a few times, then drops back to wired (if a wire is plugged in).
Comment 21 Bart Whiteley 2006-03-06 16:32:22 UTC 
As a side note on the new NM package, with cvs20060303 I always have to manually start nm-applet.
Comment 22 Robert Love 2006-03-06 16:41:20 UTC 
It is fixed by an updated gnome-session package.
Comment 23 Robert Love 2006-03-10 18:42:44 UTC 
jg: hi! what is the status of orinoco_cs w.r.t wpa_supplicant?

We are invoking it with "AP_SCAN 2" and the "wext" driver.  See Bart's log in comment #16. It simply fails to associate.

I have just tested Beta8 and it still doesn't work with orinoco + WEP. With ifup it works fine.

I also tried version 0.6.1-21 from http://primates.ximian.com/~rml/misc/NetworkManager/ and the behavior is the same. (although its logging is much less verbose).

When trying to connect to a WEP protected network, KNetworkManager doesn't even asks for the WEP key. When I try to set the wireless network parameter manually using the "Connect to Other Wireless Network..." menu option, KNetworkManager's progress bar reaches 57% but doesn't go beyond that. /var/log/message shows:

Mar 19 16:33:00 linux-p7xp kernel: eth1: New link status: Connected (0001)

Mar 19 16:33:27 linux-p7xp dhclient: could not restore resolv.conf: No such file or directory

If I run 'iwconfig' while KNetworkManager is trying to connect, I get this:

eth1      IEEE 802.11b  ESSID:"Carla"  Nickname:"linux-p7xp"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: 00:0E:A6:20:A4:C5

          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

ESSID was correctly set by NM. But the encryption options weren't.

This is a naive question but why does NetworkManager behaves differently with different wireless cards? Shouldn't NM communicate with all the drivers using the same kernel's wireless extensions API?
Comment 25 Robert Love 2006-03-19 16:54:42 UTC 
Because every driver is horribly broken in different ways, unfortunately.  And calling wext an API is like calling Belarus a democracy.

The reason Orinoco works with ifup but not NM is because ifup really does not tax the card -- or do much of anything vis-a-vis the API.  What we need to do is find what in NM or (more likely) wpa_supplicant is irking orinoco_cs.  A good guess is what you pointed out -- the encryption key is not set.

I have the same problem using a Dell C640 with the TrueMobile 1150 card. If I can help with information let me know.

Comment 28 Joachim Gleissner 2006-03-24 18:08:07 UTC 
I think this is a wpa_supplicant problem. Could you try whether the package in gaspode-jg-2 fixes it for you?
Comment 29 Bart Whiteley 2006-03-25 03:15:20 UTC 
Nice.  WEP works with those packages. 
WPA2 Personal doesn't work.  Should it?
Comment 30 Joachim Gleissner 2006-03-25 11:45:36 UTC 
No, the driver does not support WPA. Thanks for testing, package submitted.
Comment 31 Bart Whiteley 2006-03-25 16:10:55 UTC 
If the driver doesn't support WPA, these options should not be available in NM, IMO.  Seems like this will be a support problem.
Comment 32 Forgotten User 55iwwMllzz 2006-04-02 18:08:33 UTC 
I am glad to inform that Beta 9's NM finally works as expected with WEP!
Good work!
