Hi,
I just installed NetworkManager and started to use it with wired/wireless
connections.
Things work fine with the wired connection, but although NetworkManager
displays several available wireless networks, it will not connect.
The problem is that when I select the available network to join, NetworkManager diplays a dialogue "Wireless Network
Authentication Required" and requests a "WEP 128-bit Passphrase". Entering the "128 bits 26 hex digits"
code for my router does not work, I believe I need to enter a "WEP 40/128-bit Key", but when I select this, the
"Connect" button is greyed out and I cannot enter the code.
Any ideas whey trying to enter a "WEP 40/128-bit Key" is not possible with
NetworkManager?
John,
According to the IEEE, WEP-40 and WEP-104 "have been deprecated as
they fail to meet their security goals".
You should instead use WPA2-AES or, if that is not possible, WPA2-PSK.
