Description of problem: There is still disabled Connect button in dialog for connecting to hidden wireless network after choosing existing wifi profile (WPA2 Enterprise). When I use New and fill the dialog from scratch everything is working properly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-0.7.0.99-5.git20090326.fc10 How reproducible: The problem appears when I want to connect to hidden wireless network using NetworkManager applet. In dialog connecting to hidden wireless network I choose predefined connection with WPA2 Enterprise and Apply button remains disabled. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create new wireless profile with wireless security using: WPA & WPA2 Enterprise TLA your identity user certificate ca certificate user key password for user key 2. In NetworkManager applet use "Connect to hidden wireless network" 3. Choose created profile in step 1. Actual results: Apply button remains disabled Expected results: Enable Apply button Additional info: The workaround is fill the Connect to hidden wireless network dialog from scratch and then Apply button is enabled. If you want to connect second time don't choose predefined profile but only type SSID and click Connect. After this the hidden network is listed in applet and you can connect.
This bug has been triaged. I am able to reproduce the bug. But i think you mean the "Connect" button in the "Connect to Hidden Wireless Network" (please see my attached screenshot to ensure that we are having the same issue). The problem is maybe that the "Private Key Password" filed is blank (but can't changed because its grayed out too.) The same problem appears if you try to edit the connection and want to use "Apply" button if no private key is entered. Then the button is also grayed out. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Created attachment 339911 [details] screenshot of grayed out connect button
First, I'm sorry for late response. Sure. We mean the same button. I don't know why you have the password field empty (I've filled the password during creating profile so I assume it's used here). I have this field filled with dots. But the connect button is grayed out.
confirmed in NM 0.7.x as well
upstream fix is: 06b820cb281a1f62762b7ceb855f076f71469bb6 (0.7.x) Will get this into an NM update soon.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. 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 '10'. 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 10'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 10 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
I'm sorry I'm unable to test it in Fedora 10. I upgraded to F11. I don't have this problem in F11. NM works without problem after upgrade to F11. I can test it in F11 if you describe how to reproduce it in F11. Thanks a lot.

Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
