Description Stefan Neufeind 2009-09-07 17:33:27 UTC
I only have luck connecting to a "hidden" WPA2-network using e.g.
NetworkManager-0.7.1-1.fc11.x86_64 and knetworkmanager-0.7-0.8.20080926svn.fc10.x86_64 (yes, from F10 and for kde3!). My hope was that the recent, revamped version 0.8 of knetworkmanager might work quite as well and using KDE4-libs, but it doesn't look like there is support for hidden networks anyhow, can that be? knetworkmanager-0.7.x simply has them in the menues, allows you to select and entry by hand and you can connect. That (no autoconnect for the moment) would suffice for me.

PS: The plasmoid was broken as well last time I tried (see bug 494262) and currently, officially, is "broken" in F11-testing.

reassigning to the correct component

Comment 2 Steven M. Parrish 2009-09-13 01:52:58 UTC
Thank you for taking the time to report this issue.

This is an issue that needs to be addressed by the upstream developers. Please report this at http://bugs.kde.org and then add the upstream report information to this report.  We will monitor the upstream report for a resolution to this issue, and will review any bug fixes that become available for consideration in future updates.

Setting status to NEEDINFO, and awaiting upstream bug report URL for tracking.

Thanks in advance.

Comment 3 Stefan Neufeind 2009-09-14 09:57:42 UTC
So you say it's broken upstream as well? Or is this a "works-for-everbody except me"?

If broken upstream, I'll report it.

But if the latter (it should work with current version), is there any way to "completely" clear the database knetworkmanager 0.8 uses (is it just the wallet?)?

Comment 4 Steven M. Parrish 2009-09-14 18:19:43 UTC
Its broken upstream as well.  The just got wpa2 sort of working.  Upstream is under heavy development and app is not stable.  For this reason it will not be the default in F12

Comment 5 Stefan Neufeind 2009-09-14 18:31:39 UTC
Hmm okay. Also doesn't work for me using the plasma-applet. So actually the versions shipping with F11 (testing or not) are broken altogether unless people use older 0.7.1-versions installed by hand?

<sarcasm>Then I'll either stick to the older versions, switch to Gnome or wait for F13?</sarcasm>

Comment 7 Ben Boeckel 2009-11-07 02:10:29 UTC
Could you please test the new builds to see if it addresses your issues?

Comment 8 Fedora Update System 2009-11-11 14:59:31 UTC
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.

Comment 9 Bug Zapper 2010-04-28 10:13:10 UTC
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

Comment 10 Bug Zapper 2010-06-28 14:31:32 UTC
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.
