From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20060126 Fedora/1.5-5 Firefox/1.5

Description of problem:
After installing the new NetworkManager, when I try to connect to a WPA network, I get the following:

** (nm-applet:3245): CRITICAL **: wsm_get_widget_for_active: assertion `opt != NULL' failed

** (nm-applet:3245): CRITICAL **: wsm_validate_active: assertion `opt != NULL' failed

The popup it titled "Wireless Network Key Required": "Passphrase Required by Wireless Network", but the 'Wireless Security' pull down doesn't let me enter or select anything.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NetworkManager-0.5.1-6.cvs20060127

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. click on tray icon, select WPA network
2.
3.

Ack... looks like wpa_supplicant isn't started/running:

wpa_supplicant failed. The error was: Starting wpa_supplicant:

Wow..... This now works (with kernel-2.6.15-1.1884_FC5)!!!!!

Appears to be a few SELinux issues that I've filed in fedora-selinux-list, but
it works in permissive mode.

Thanks!  This is a big win.... :-D

I'm closing this.....

Not workign for me. 

See istanbul attached file for example.

It may not be immediately clear, although in the screencast, these messages
appear in the logs.

I know this is using the madwifi drivers, but this did work a few weeks back.

at home.
