I'm trying to get NetworkManager-kde working with my wireless card (Linksys WPC11 v.4 / rtl8180 chipset)
knetworkmanager can now detect the card, scan for networks, and prompt for a wep key if needed. However, when trying to connect to any wireless network (encrypted or not) it stalls at 28%: "Activation Stage: Configuring device". Here's a paste of dmesg: IEEE802.11: Associating with belkin54g IEEE802.11: Stopping scan IEEE802.11: Sending authentication request IEEE802.11: Received authentication response IEEE802.11: Sending association request IEEE802.11: Received association response IEEE802.11: Successfully associated rtl8180: Joining the BSS ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready ...after about a minute, it resets the card and repeats the above. The card+driver work "ok", and can connect to unencrypted and wep-encrypted networks, using debian's /etc/network/interfaces and ifconfig. (I commented out most of /etc/network/interfaces (except loopback lo) so that NetworkManager can work on debian; I read somewhere that debian modified networkmanager so as not to touch interfaces listed in /etc/network/interfaces -- and indeed, prior to doing the commenting, networkmanager could not see the interfaces at all) If it's relevant: I'm using kernel 2.6.18, with the (free) rtl-wifi driver. I recently wrote a Debian entry for their FAQ: http://rtl-wifi.sourceforge.net/wiki/FAQ#Debian Thanks! ~David. _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
