I see a similar problem on Ubuntu 7.04, kernel 2.6.20-15-generic. The
Asus 107g PCMCIA card is detected and is trying to connect but gets no
connection. I have tried both no encryption, WEP 64bit encryption, WEP
128bit encryption and WPA-PSK encryption but with no luck. Also i noted
that network-manager only showed WEP 64 and WEP 128 encryption and not
WPA or no encryption even though the router was configured to no
password or WPA-PSK.
Then I uninstalled network-manager and network-manager-gnome, and
inserted the following to /etc/network/interfaces:
iface ra0 inet dhcp
pre-up ifconfig ra0 up
pre-up ifconfig ra0 down
pre-up ifconfig ra0 up
pre-up ifconfig ra0 down
pre-up iwconfig ra0 essid "MyRouterName"
pre-up iwconfig ra0 mode Managed
pre-up iwpriv ra0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
pre-up iwpriv ra0 set EncrypType=TKIP
pre-up iwpriv ra0 set WPAPSK="MySecretPassword
pre-up ifconfig ra0 up
auto ra0
and rebooted. The network has worked with no problems for a couple of
weeks now. The router is an Asus 500g deluxe and configured to use WPA-
PSK.
I would think there is a defect in the network-manager application.
