iwl3945, WPA-encrypted network Sometimes, NM is unable to reauthenticate to my network upon resuming from sleep, (presumably?) because of stupid driver bugs that aren't its fault. It used to be that when this happened, it would ask for the password again, and the password field in the dialog would be empty. (Or maybe it would start with "No encryption" selected, and I'd have to pick WPA first before I even got a password dialog? I don't remember.) Now though, it selects WPA correctly, and the password field is pre-filled-in, but instead of being filled in with the right password, it's filled in with a giant hex string, which NM isn't even willing to accept (the "Connect" button is disabled).
It's not bogus, it's the WPA hex PSK, which is pulled from the keyring... It's what you'd get if you hashed the SSID and passphrase together with wpa_passphrase. The applet actually doesn't record the passphrase, but hashes it immediately into the form required for NetworkManager. It's likely a bug that the connect button isn't enabled though, I'll have to poke at that. In the longer term, the applet should probably store the passphrase along with the hashed key and show that in the dialog instead.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

As mentioned in passing when I was in Westford, the Connect button works now, although it's still possibly confusing that it presents the user with the hex key instead of the passphrase.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '9'. 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 9'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 9 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

Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 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.
