Do more recent versions of NetworkManager help this in any way? 0.3.4-1 is in fc3-updates... Closing as no response for a long time... |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041215 Firefox/1.0 Red Hat/1.0-12.EL4 Description of problem: When I attempt to connect to a wireless network with no encryption, everything works as expected. When attempting to use NetworkManagerInfo to connect to a wireless network with WEP (64-bit or 128-bit), right at about the time I would expect it to pop up and ask me for a WEP key, instead I get a message that the selected wireless network does not appear to be in range. Running "iwconfig eth1" shows that my WEP key is set to 1111-1111-1111-1111-1111-1111-11. If I stop NetworkManager and use iwconfig to set enc to the proper key, I have no problem connecting. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-0.3.1-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start NetworkManager and run NetworkManagerInfo 2. Click on the applet, then select a wireless network that has encryption enabled. 3. Wait for the message to pop up. Actual Results: I get a dialog box that says "The requested wireless network 'newberryit' does not appear to be in range. A different wireless network will be used if any are available." Expected Results: Expected a dialog box requesting the WEP key. Additional info: This is on a Dell Inspiron 8600, with the Dell Truemobile 1300 Mini-PCI 802.11g card (Broadcom). Using latest Driverloader from the Linuxant website. Tried enabling the stacks workaround to see if that had anything to do with it.
