I had experienced the same issue with both Feisty Fawn and Sabayon Linux on my thinkpad t30.
It has an intersil prism2.5 pci card, using the hostap driver. It appears that NetworkManager misinterprets or otherwise fails to scan for networks properly. However, I did discover a workaround: 1: stop NetworkManager 2: start wpa_supplicant with control interface 3: initiate a scan with wpa_cli 4: kill wpa_supplicant 5: start NetworkManager After doing this, I find that the list of networks now show WPA flags on the details that pop up, and when selecting one, it now prompts for the appropriate wpa password instead of having wep as the only option. I am not sure if this fixes NetworkManager with successive scans, I get the sense that it will not. Until a real fix is created, I'm simply adding the steps above in the NetworkManager init scripts for now. -- WEP is listed on WPA configure AP. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/59549 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
