Description of problem: The plasma-interface of the NetworkManager has a nasty bug for mobile devices(Bug 653073). This week a update on the network-manager or KDE cause a new problem. the WLAN WPA2 setting of password does not work anymore. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager 0.8.3.997 (for FC14). How reproducible: When you try to connect to a WLAN/WIFI via WPA2-private then a configured WPA/WPA2 Personal password, the password does not seem to be understood in a KDE session and a seconday dialog for giving the correct password is shown. When you do the same within a Gnome-Session everything works !!!! Steps to Reproduce: 1. WLAN/WIFI connect under KDE 2. 3. Actual results: does not understand the password Expected results: successful connection establishment. Additional info: This happend on both of my labtops with Fedora14. Iff possible kick out the plasma-frontend until both problems (also GSM config) is working.
i followed up the source of the problem and changed the componnetn from Network-Manager to kde-plasma-networkmanagement. After all i started nm-applet manually an the good ole NM-Apple appeard in my system try. The GSM(mobile device) started up without any problem. This evennig i will try to get the WLAN/WIFI running. @Fedora: remove the kde-placma-networkmanagement from this distribution. It seemd that this app is not stable in terms of its development. It is a real pain for KDE-users on Fedora
This wiki helped me to switch back to the gnome-NetworkManager

This is already reported. It is unlikely that we will give up on a fine piece of software such as kde-plasma-networkmanagement for a single regression. FYI, the plasmoid works fine for me (and most of our users, I think), including authentication, and has worked fine for months. We're still trying to figure out what's going wrong in your and the other affected cases so we can push a fix. The right approach to regressions is to fix them, not to drop the software altogether. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 682972 ***
Salut Kevin, > It is unlikely that we will give up on a fine piece of software such as > kde-plasma-networkmanagement for a single regression. i can not believe, that i am the only one, who has problem with the GMS konfig, cause its broken. It uses a different (outdated) chap dialog for any reason. The gnome pendant is working! You may notice also a delta of dialogs for the nm-connection-editor. The kde-plasma implementation shows a PUK field while the working gnome version only needs the password field to be inserted. Finally kde-plasma cause the generation of a outdated CHAP dialog with password/puk, that is not supported. THIS CAN NOT WORK! YI, the plasmoid works fine for me (and most of our users, I think), including authentication, and has worked fine for months. We're still trying to figure What, eth0 ?? What about WLAN or mobile devices like GSM/3D ?
Both WPA-PSK and WPA-EAP (Eduroam) work fine for me. While I haven't personally tested mobile broadband (GSM/UMTS/3G/...), that's also expected to work by now, we even had a report from a user where kde-plasma-networkmanagement worked for his mobile broadband and the GNOME nm-applet didn't!

Kevin: the kde-plasma-networkmanager should do the same as the gnome reference. Its aim is to do exactly the same thing. Iff not, than kde-plasma-networkmanager is wrong!! And in fact it does some very strange things!
Uh, do you understand "for me"? I'm not the only one who has this working, either. > ... report sent by santa-claus, did not he ?? No, by an actual user.
