Re: [Bug 24295] Re: [network-admin] Cannot enable WPA in UI
I hope I can clairfy: I am in an apartment complex, that has evidently a DOS program that looks for a Key: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to enable only users in the complex to access WIFI. If you want them, I can provide the exact sequence and terminology used. I remember it is a WPA PSK key. I can't say whether it was Network Manager that initiated the final process that asked me for my "code," or another routine. If you feel it is important I could save my data and rebuild this part of my hard disk with Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn (see below for more details). This is what I think changed things for the better: I tried to install a Belkin, USB WIFI antenna for greater range, following instructions from a file downloaded, which I can probably find (I save everything). I couldn't get the Feisty OS to see the Belkin (Ralink) antenna, but it was after this that a boot up sequence asked me for the correct key and booted into the Atheros radio chip. The system was Feisty Fawn 7.04 (DVD) from issue 80, July 2007 of Linux Magazine, As I said above, the software probably was in the system on the DVD, as I was unable to access the internet using my WIFI setup. Again, my guess is that when I tried to install the Belkin "Railink" chip, I moved something or deleted something in the Wifi boot up script that caused it to see the Atheros chip in the correct sequence. My guess is that the newer program or routine, as you may call it, had not been used in this case, since I could not download any software until my machine could access the WIFI and internet. So, if you are not confused by now, I tried. Regards, J.

Re: [Bug 24295] Re: [network-admin] Cannot enable WPA in UI
Thanks a lot: I don't know if you installed it specifically on my machine, but one day it asked me for the key, I gave it, and it has worked marvelously ever since. I had left ubuntu and tried other systems, some very good. Yet ubuntu and your help was the first to address the problem of my machine with my particular set-up, and solve it. I see various .iso downloads on distrowatch, that I would like to try, but not at the expense of losing what I have. Thanks again. Some day I will send some money, but I have other needs now. J.

Apparently fixed.

It does work with nm-applet in Feisty (beta) but still not in network- admin. Just a note: Sometimes I get connected to the access point of the neighbors, which might be illegal in some countries?

Gabe, When did these changes make it into Debian? Do you know if they are available in edgy?
