Description Joshua Covington 2009-07-08 20:58:03 UTC
Description of problem:
I cannot connect to a hidden wpa2 network. I see some networks and after entering my 63 ASCII password phrase I still cannot connect. If the entered pass phrase were wrong, then I should habe been asked to re-enter it, but no dialog appears. I've attached the messages from /var/log/messages.

It appears to me that the nm-applet cannot properly transfer my password because there is an entry saying: nm_supplicant_config_add_setting_wireless_security(): Invalid PSK length 63: not between 8 and 63 characters inclusive.

When downgrading to NetworkManager-gnome-0.7.1-4.git20090617.fc11.x86_64.rpm everything is fine and I can connect. The other 2 packages haven't been downgraded.

Maybe this is connected to RH #441070.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NetworkManager-0.7.1-6.git20090617.fc11.x86_64.rpm
NetworkManager-glib-0.7.1-6.git20090617.fc11.x86_64.rpm
NetworkManager-gnome-0.7.1-6.git20090617.fc11.x86_64.rpm

How reproducible:
Install NetworkManager-gnome-0.7.1-6.git20090617.fc11.x86_64.rpm

Someone has unintentionally modified line #612 in /NetworkManager-0.7.1/src/supplicant-manager/nm-supplicant-config.c and deleted the "=" sing. The right line should read:

 } else if (psk_len >= 8 && psk_len <= 63) {

This is fixed in NetworkManager-gnome-0.7.1-8.git20090708.fc11.x86_64 and I'll close this bug.

I've removed the nm-applet alias to not confuse users that try searching for nm-applet
