Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-0.3.1-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run NetworkManager and NetworkManagerInfo 2. Select "InternetOasis (FREE)" network 3. Actual Results: Bad key or directory name: "/system/networking/wireless/networks/Internet Oasis (FREE)/timestamp": ` ' is an invalid character in key/directory names Bad key or directory name: "/system/networking/wireless/networks/Internet Oasis (FREE)/essid": ` ' is an invalid character in key/directory names Expected Results: Associate with the AP and obtain a DHCP lease. Additional info:
Is there any way you can test NetworkManager-0.3.4-1.1.0.fc3, which has been in FC3-updates for a while? I believe that's fixed this problem and it should escape GConf keys correctly. A 'yum update NetworkManager' should install that version, otherwise look at: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/3/i386/
Same error with NetworkManager-0.3.4-1.1.0.fc3. Sorry about not updating before asking.
Now it seems to be working...
