>> That looks like it's because your device is detecting a WEP password for the >> AP. Is this how it's configured? That is correct. But it doesn't enable the "Connect" button even when I enter the correct password. Not that I expect the password to be stored unencrypted, but when I enter the correct number of characters, the button remains disabled.
>> Is the password configured statically in the connection's settings? Yes it is. In fact if I select "Cancel" in the dialog, Ubuntu eventually connects on its own. So I don't think this is a serious bug. Perhaps it would be better if the dialog did not show up at all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager-applet in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/835949 Title: "Connect" button is not enabled in the wireless password dialog after a disconnect Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Version information: lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu oneiric (development branch) Release: 11.10 network-manager-gnome: Installed: 0.9.0-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 0.9.0-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 0.9.0-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status But I've seen this in older versions as well. To reproduce: 1. Connect to a secure wireless network. 2. Remove the wireless network (by switching off the router, for example). 3. Click "Cancel" when the password dialog pops up. 4. Switch on the router and try connecting again. 5. When entering a password the "Connect" button goes on and off depending on the number of characters you enter. For example, my password is 9 characters long, but the Connect button is enabled only when the number of characters entered is a multiple of 5.
