What exact model of Orinoco card do you have? Also, what's the output of a 'uname -a' command executed in the terminal? I'm not sure what the exact modelof the orinoco card is (it's an internal mini-pci card that lives inside my ThinkPad T30 - I could open it up and look for a model number if necessary). The Hardware Browser calls it a "Lucent Technologies WaveLAN/IEEE Adapter" and says it uses the "orinoco_cs" driver. Uname gives me: $ uname -a Linux gibson 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 #1 Thu Jun 2 22:55:56 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Let me know of any other information I could give that might be helpful. Thanks. This seems to be working fine for me now since todays update of networkmanager and networkmanager-gnome (0.4-18.FC4). This bug can probably be marked as FIXED. I am running NetworkManager-gnome v0.4-32cvs from the devel repo and am still unable to connect to a WEP'd network, or an unencrypted network for that matter. I'm running on an IBM ThinkPad T30 with a built-in IBM High-Rate Wireless card using the Intersil Prism 2.5 chipset. I'm running the current (0.13-26) orinoco/hermes drivers that supposedly support rfmon as well. These are self-compiled drivers and not the FC4 release version. If I "Connect to other wireless network..." then enter in the SSID and WEP key (64-bit, don't know about 128-bit as I don't have a AP that has 128-bit encryption), the application apparently attempts to connect, but then times-out prompting me for a WEP key again (this time asking for a 128-bit key). After entering it a second time, it just times out and tells me it couldn't find the network. At this time, it also shuts down the wireless interface completely. I *can* get the card to work and connect to wireless networks and encrypted networks using the 'Desktop->System Settings->Network' application.

When trying to connect to secure (WEP-key) wireless networks with NetworkManager, it tries to connect, then drops back to scanning, and this continues indefinitely. My orinoco card doesn't allow scanning - so I'm manually going to "Other Wireless Networks..." and entering the ESSID and WEP key manually. I /can/ connect to open/un-encrypted networks without any problem. How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to "Other Wireless Networks" 2. Enter ESSID and WEP key, hit "Connect" Actual results: tries to connect, then goes back to "scanning" icon - never connects Expected results: Should connect to the specified network.
