Package: network-manager Version: 0.6.2-3 Severity: normal Hi,
network-manager is supposed to be wonderful to manage various networks but I can't get it to work correctly. I have a Thinkpad T43 with an ipw2200 driver (1.1.2 driver on 2.6.17-rc6). I need to connect to either a WPA personal wireless network at home (CCMP pairwise and group) or a WEP encrypted at work (104bits hex key with shared key authentication). When I choose to connect to my WPA network in network-manager, it does not seem to set the WPA key in my interface (at least, that's why iwconfig says). Most of the time, I end up having to set the key with iwconfig before network-manager becomes happy. The connection is very stable then. On the WEP network, network-manager sets the key correctly but does not set it to "restricted" (according to iwconfig). The key remains in "open" authentication. The log of my last attempt to connect to this WEP network is attached below. Sometime it works, but most of the time, it does not and I have to help network-manager or reboot/reset the driver multiple times before getting connected to my wireless network. Note that network scanning works fine. Both networks are always proposed by network-manager when they are nearby. Storing the key in gnome-keyring also seems to work fine. Also note that I was using wpa_supplicant without network-manager before, and it was working much better. But, given the features of network-manager, I'd rather not go back to wpa_supplicant-only. I checked that no additional wpa_supplicant was running in the background and disturbing network-manager.
