Unbelievable. I just spent COUNTLESS HOURS looking for a way to establish a connection to my base station (which is configured to use Shared WEP key). I finally stumbled upon a web page <http://www.cs.cornell.edu/~scs49/install_linux.html> which pointed to this ancient post <http://www.redhat.com/archives/rhl-beta-list/2003-July/msg00848.html> containing the configuration information I needed to get Shared WEP working. Please either fix the UI of system-config-network to support this option, or discontinue its use in favor of something like NetworkManager <http://www.gnome.org/projects/NetworkManager/> (which already seems to ship with FC5). Thanks Daniel, it works. I can't wait to see some enhanced network managment tool because system-config-network really lack for some important features. |
