About 3 weeks ago, after an update I couldnt stablish a connection to any secure wireless, wpa or wep. 

I click manage conections(Kcmshell4), select the wireless to connect, edit the preferences, add the type of security, add the password, save the changes, click in connect and it asks me for the password again, I set the password again and click ok, it doesnt even try to connect to the wireless, just appears as not connected. Go back to see the changes for that network and the password I set is not there.

I can connect with out problems to open wireless, and I could connect without any problems to wpa or wep before this update.. 

Working on a Dell xps 15.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Try to connect to a wireless connection.
2.Ask for password(wpa or wep)
3.click ok
4.Does not even try to connect
Actual Results:  
Nothing, doesnt even try to connect, doesnt seem like is trying to connect nor does ask the password again

Expected Results:  
Connect to the wireless connection

I think this is a duplicate of bug 682972 - bug in kde-plasma-networkmanagement

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=682972#c21 for a build with the fix.

still a problem or was fixed by the fix for 682972?

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 13:00:44 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

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:
