Hi, I'm cross-posting this here because there was no response from the Fedora guys. Apologies if it's a Fedora-specific issue not appropriate to this list.
I've just installed the Fedora 9 Beta. During the install, you're prompted to configure your network interfaces, so I tried to set up my wireless NIC (Cisco Aironet PC4800). It wasn't clear what format the WEP key should be in (i.e. decimal, hex, hex prefixed by 0x..., case sensitivity for hex) so I typed 0x... and hopefully my correct WEP key and the SSID. Now the installation is complete but I can't connect to my network. Network Manager (0.7.0) shows the network but when I select it I immediately get "The network connection has been disconnected". The trouble is I can't see how to check the credentials I entered during setup. If I right-click on NM and select "Edit Connections..." I just have 5 empty tabs with the Add, Edit and Delete buttons disabled. The salient /var/log/messages entries are below, it looks like my credentials are wrong to me? Surely it would make sense to prompt me if these are incorrect or is this set somewhere else. (If so, it's very unintuitive). Thanks in advance for any help or advice, Leon... /var/log/messages says: Mar 30 13:40:34 leon1 NetworkManager: <info> User request for activation of eth0.
