Bug 156409

Hello,

I experienced the following problems with when trying to use (K?)NetworkManager to use wireless internet.

First, I use the packages from Beta6 and I am able to connect
to my AP with NetworkManager.

Sometimes, my access point simply do not appear on the list of
knetworkmanager, sometimes there are wireless networks shown
without a single ESSID. Here, usually restarting NetworkManager
helps. 
Looking through the other NetworkManager Bugreports, I found
recommondations to update
NetworkManager (to 0.6.0cvs20060306). The result was no wireless
networks were shown in KNetworkManager, even though nm-tool
listed all available networks. (I updated KNetworkmanager as well,
but it was the same version as in beta6)

Another point I want to make is that when the initial
attempt to connect to my access point fails, I get
the Knetworkmanager dialog to connect to other wireless network,
but the wrong one.

My knetworkmanagerrc is as follows:
ESSID=Egal
Encryption=WEP
HardwareAddresses=00:....
Timestamp=2006,3,8,23,51,42
Trusted=true
WEPMethod=OpenSystem
WEPType=ASCII

Furthermore I am a bit confused that it is possible at this point
to make my encryption key visible. I know that the key is stored
in kwallet but here I need to have the password. I think
a possible wrong encryption key must only be corrected in kwallet.

I hope I did not reopen known bugs.
Regards
