I have this problem on Karmic beta, when trying to connect to a WEP network
with shared key, NM keeps asking the key.
Editing connections, I see "Open System" is selected by default, manually
changing it to "Shared Key" solves the problem.
This is wpa-supplicant log with the default settings:
Oct 25 12:32:25 endor NetworkManager: <info> Activation (wlan0/wireless):
connection 'Auto MyNetwork' has security, and secrets exist. No new secrets
needed.
Oct 25 12:32:25 endor NetworkManager: <info> Config: added 'ssid' value
'MyNetwork'
Oct 25 12:32:25 endor NetworkManager: <info> Config: added 'scan_ssid' value
'1'
Oct 25 12:32:25 endor NetworkManager: <info> Config: added 'key_mgmt' value
'NONE'
Oct 25 12:32:25 endor NetworkManager: <info> Config: added 'auth_alg' value
'OPEN'
Oct 25 12:32:25 endor NetworkManager: <info> Config: added 'wep_key0' value
'<omitted>'
Oct 25 12:32:25 endor NetworkManager: <info> Config: added 'wep_tx_keyidx'
value '0'
and after configuration change:
Oct 25 12:32:49 endor NetworkManager: <info> Activation (wlan0/wireless):
connection 'Auto MyNetwork' has security, and secrets exist. No new secrets
needed.
Oct 25 12:32:49 endor NetworkManager: <info> Config: added 'ssid' value
'MyNetwork'
Oct 25 12:32:49 endor NetworkManager: <info> Config: added 'scan_ssid' value
'1'
Oct 25 12:32:49 endor NetworkManager: <info> Config: added 'key_mgmt' value
'NONE'
Oct 25 12:32:49 endor NetworkManager: <info> Config: added 'auth_alg' value
'SHARED'
Oct 25 12:32:49 endor NetworkManager: <info> Config: added 'wep_key0' value
'<omitted>'
Oct 25 12:32:49 endor NetworkManager: <info> Config: added 'wep_tx_keyidx'
value '0'
