It also pops up the "secrets" dialog, even though the WEP password is stored. I tried running yum downgrade NetworkManager, but haven't been able to get it working yet. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.8.3.997 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: Don't know really. Actual results: Cannot connect to wireless, networkmanager icon changes to a wifi signal with a white square on the lower left and a key on the lower right. Expected results: Wireless should work Additional info: Running KDE. KDE is set to store network secrets unencrypted in a file.
I am suffering the same problem with F14 i386. Started experiencing it yesterday myself. Attempted regressing to the older version of NetworkManager and then the older version of knetworkmanager\* and that didn't seem to work. Going to try again later tonight see what I can find out.
I can stop NetworkManager and run iwconfig commands and get the wireless system up and running. I tried installing nm-applet, but it doesn't show up in the system tray on KDE, so I don't know if it's NM or NM-kde that has the problem.
I was able to get my wireless to work again after I removed .kde/share/apps/networkmanagement and .kde/share/config/networkmanagementrc. When I reconfigured, the network manager pieces went back to using the kwallet to store secrets.
Thanks Joseph, I've been so busy lately. I also thought that maybe starting the knetworkmanager config over from scratch might help. I just hadn't been able to dedicate time to hunting down the specific files for that. So thanks for beating me to it and finding them. I too am successfully connected once again. Thank you very much.
I'll close then; it's odd that removing the kde stuff fixes it, but I suppose that's more of a kde bug. Probably something with the secrets got screwed up and the KDE networkmanagement layer started failing to provide them back to NM when it requested them?
