Description of problem: Greetings, Dan! When a WEP connection is lost (for example AP is lost or power outage or even wrong password), NetworkManager asks for password and KDE network manager applet in turn asks the user for password. The password input field is disabled. Debugged and found that (with Lamarque Souza and Ilia Kats, the KDE NM developers) this is due to an empty input validator being set because NetworkManager doesn't hand over the WEP Key Type (ASCII/Passphrase) when using ifcfg-rh plugin. But when a keyfile backend is used, the "wep-key-type" is stored and hence KDE NM is able to get this value through D-BUS call and everything works as expected. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.9.4.0-9.git20120521 (still present as of this version, but the issue was present for a long time) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Ensure to use ifcfg-rh plugin backend (default in Fedora) 2. On KDE NM applet, input a wrong password for a WEP connection when connecting for first time 3. NM attempts to connect, fails due to incorrect password and asks user for the password again Actual results: Password input field is disabled Expected results: Password input field should be editable Additional info: Verified that "wep-key-type" is not present in the D-BUS call "dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Settings/4 org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Settings.Connection.GetSettings" for the relevant connection. Please ask if anything additional required
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '17'. 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 17'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 17 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, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. 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.
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 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.
