Are you using the "Connect to other wireless network" if you left click on the icon in the notification area? (Under gnome). I use KDE, click on the systray NetManager icon and either chose the shown "logix" network (see first screenshot) or go with "Connect to other wireless networks" and fill "logix" as the name. Then supply the correct (yes, I'm sure) password (see 2nd screenshot) and the it fails (see the last s/shot). Created attachment 78728 [details]

This is the default network that I try to connect to.

The only available options. No Managed/AdHoc switch, well it could as well be autodetected...

This dialog shows for several seconds and then it fails saying it can't connect.
KNetworkManager does not yet provide the option to create AdHoc networks. However, nm-applet -- which comes with NetworkManager-gnome -- does. Please track this issue with bug #153232. Closing as duplicate of bug #153232. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 153232 *** *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 153232 *** |
I can't make NetworkManager connect to my WEP "protected" AdHoc network from laptop with ipw2100 wifi card. When configured manually from command line with iwconfig it works just fine. Or am I just too dumb to find the Managed/AdHoc checkbox? FWIW this is the output of iwconfig while NetworkManager says it tries to connect to the network: eth1 unassociated ESSID:off/any Nickname:"ipw2100" Mode:Managed Channel=0 Access Point: Not-Associated Bit Rate=0 kb/s Tx-Power:16 dBm Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
