Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 237447
WPA Enterprise stopped working
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:12:02 EST
Description of problem: can't connect to WPA Enterprise SSID any more Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.6.5-1.fc7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. choose a WPA Enterprise SSID 2. fill in your authentication credentials 3. look in your .xsession-errors for "nmi_save_network_info(): Error saving secret for wireless network 'dcs_wpa' in keyring: 5" Actual results: not on the WPA Enterprise SSID Expected results: on the WPA Enterprise SSID Additional info: rolling back to f7test3 (0.6.5-0.4.svn2474.fc7) appears to fix it for me, so I suspect it's a recent regression.
upping severity (a) to see if anyone notices (there's been no response for three weeks now, mind you that's not unusual--see bug 209496) and (b) because I don't want to see F7 broken in this respect as it will generate support load
Hello, I suspect my Bug 243590 is a duplicate of this (I also got the impression NM was having trouble storing the key). I'll try rolling back to the package you suggested and see if this works for me.
Yes, I think you might be right. NM does have trouble storing the key, but since you're offered the key during the EAP conversation, it shouldn't need to store the key in the first place. In fact it's worse than that, as it gives you the false sense of security that your 802.1X password is being safely stored in the keyring, when actually NM stores it in plain text in gconf. Apparently NM 0.7 will fix this horrendous error. It's not due till after the release of F8. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 243590 ***
