Comment 2 Vaclav "sHINOBI" Misek 2008-02-29 22:28:00 UTC
Are there any messages in /var/log/messages regarding this problem? Does the
network use hidden SSID? Please also post output from /usr/bin/nm-tool and
lsmod. Do you have SELinux turned on, in enforcing or permissive mode, and what
version
of the selinux-policy-targeted RPM do you have installed?

Comment 3 Mauricio Pretto 2008-02-29 22:40:44 UTC
SELinux is disabled
SSID is not hidden

----------
I Would take a guess that the problem is the ssid name
that have a special character Sagrado_café is the ssid name
 


Comment 4 Vaclav "sHINOBI" Misek 2008-02-29 23:19:47 UTC
Yep it looks like. Is the applet really crashing? I'm asking this stupid
question because there are no infos about this crash in the posted nm-applet bug
report file :-).

Comment 5 Mauricio Pretto 2008-02-29 23:25:55 UTC
Yep, its crashing, i'm able use the internet at the place by not pressing the
SEND report button in the bug buddy .
When i click that the nm-applet crashes and i have to rerun it .
I can go there again this weekend if you need any further information .


Comment 6 Vaclav "sHINOBI" Misek 2008-02-29 23:39:47 UTC
If you can try it again if there'll be more infos in nm-applet bug report it
will be great.

Comment 9 Mauricio Pretto 2008-03-10 21:54:09 UTC
Attached goes the output of lsmod and nm-tool i hope this can be helpful somehow
, i have applied the last updates from fedora 8 today before trying to connect
to the wireless and the problem persists .



Comment 10 Dan Williams 2008-03-31 16:46:06 UTC
Could you try the latest NetworkManager from f8-updates-testing?

yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update NetworkManager NetworkManager-gnome

I'll test out with that SSID too and see if I can reproduce the issue.

Comment 11 Dan Williams 2008-03-31 18:14:29 UTC
Don't both with comment #10, found the issue and fixed in in SVN.  Should show
up in F8-updates-testing soon.  Thanks!  applet r637

Comment 12 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 09:58:18 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 8.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '8'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 13 Bug Zapper 2009-01-09 07:41:07 UTC
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
