Should be able to tell NM to try the previously saved passphrase
Last modified: 2014-03-25 20:54:47 EDT
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #215601 +++ Description of problem: Should be able to tell NM to try the previously saved passphrase, as it may be failing its connection because the type of encryption changed, and not because the passphrase did. Or, because the WAP wasn't fully up from reboot yet. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NM-0.6.4-5.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Reconnect to a previously connected WAP which had a passphrase or shared key, but which changed its type of encryption, or was recently rebooted. Actual results: It will ask you to enter the passphrase or shared key again, even though it's the same as it was before. Expected results: Ask for details about the connection, but have something to check which tells it that the passphrase did not actually change. Additional info:
