090519 doesn't seem to find hidden networks. Doing a "iwlist wlan0 scan essid mynetwork" makes the network finally appear and networkmanagement also tries to associate with that network. (It still fails to connect for me, but I guess that's a separate bug - #505292) To what I found some improvement for hidden SSID are said to have been commited upstream on 090520. So I tried by just using networkmanagement from "development" (which is 090602), but KDE didn't like that widget. Would upgrading the version in testing for F11 be a viable solution maybe?
Just found 090602 in the koji-builds: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=104762 That has "Connect to hidden network" in the menu which allows entering a name - at least. It stil doesn't connect for me, but that seems to be related to other things maybe ...
kde-plasma-networkmanagement-0.9-0.3.20090930svn.fc11 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 11. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/kde-plasma-networkmanagement-0.9-0.3.20090930svn.fc11
kde-plasma-networkmanagement currently responds it's "broken" and that the KDE4-port of knetworkmanager should be used for now. About that knetworkmanager: I can't seem to get a hidden wpa2-network work. I've already killed all my connections and knetworkmanager-config under ~/.kde/... and also removed anything network-related from the wallet. What I tried: * restarting the system * creating a new connection, giving it a name and the SSID as well as choosing wpa2 and entering the key * nothing happens (nothing in /var/log/messages about that I clicked etc.) when I select "connect to other network" and choose the just prepared network Using the current NetworkManager from updates-testing (f11). Or is there e.g. a different version recommended etc.?
(In reply to comment #3) > kde-plasma-networkmanagement currently responds it's "broken" and that the > KDE4-port of knetworkmanager should be used for now. Yes. It is now a kded service so that things don't get dropped when plasma crashes. The plasmoid will be updated at some point to work with this service. > About that knetworkmanager: I can't seem to get a hidden wpa2-network work. > I've already killed all my connections and knetworkmanager-config under > ~/.kde/... and also removed anything network-related from the wallet.

I'll keep an eye on commit logs to watch for hidden network changes. > Using the current NetworkManager from updates-testing (f11). Or is there e.g. a > different version recommended etc.? I don't think it works with 0.8 yet, so 0.7 still.
How does this work with the latest snapshot?
kde-plasma-networkmanagement-0.9-0.3.20090930svn.fc11 has been pushed to the Fedora 11 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. 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 '11'. 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 11'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 11 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 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 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.
