NetworkManager: Problems connecting to AP
Last modified: 2006-03-09 12:44:32 UTC
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.
