[Bug 422174] Re: cannot connect to hidden ssid
Update: It did fix it. But then I tried again to use the WiFi today and now it's stopped. Sorry to build up peoples' hopes. On the bright side, it looks like like it may be a clue to the source of the problem though.

[Bug 422174] Re: cannot connect to hidden ssid
Reading around the problem, I found that some wifi drivers don't seem to run the KeyRing Authorization routine properly if a hidden SSID is used. This leads to the authorization not getting saved. This FIXED it for me: At the router, temporarily enable SSID broadcast. Make a connection and Save. Test WiFi with Disconnect and Connect. Go back to the router, re-disable broadcast and hide your router. Re-test, your connection should still work. In theory ...

I can confirm that this bug still occurs on Lucid, and also that the workaround still works too. In case someone missed it: 1.

After doing some trial and error with network-manager-gnome working. I completely removed all of the gnome network manager and keyring stuff. And re-installed the kde plasma-widget-networkmanagement - 0.9~svn1029786+ag1-0ubuntu1... I couldn't get it to work at first. But I deleted all old saved kwallets, and all of the saved networks related to my hidden ssid. I then tried to connect with kwallet disabled. It would not see my network. But (sudo iwlist wlan1 scan essid hiddenwlanssid) would make it see it but no connection. Clicking on it opened up a secret dialog to re-enter the wpa2 key (even though I had entered it in the Connect to Other Network. It would still not work, so I enabled kwallet and clicked on it again. This time it connected! I then deleted the kwallet and the network again to start fresh. This time, kwallet disabled. Left click on the wireless icon in taskbar Manage Networks Other Connection Secrets In File (unencrypted). Right click wireless icon Connect to Other Network It shows my network ssid but without a little wireless signal next to it (hidden). Double clicking on it brings up the dialog to enter the security info. I entered it all and saved it. It didn't connect, but (sudo iwlist wlan1 scan essid hiddenwlanssid) worked. It connected and this time WITHOUT USING KWALLET. So, it seems the problem is plasma-widget-networkmanager doesn't remember to connect even though the ssid and key is saved (regardless of kwallet or not). One thing I have noticed that it doesn't always reconnect after startup. sudo iwlist wlan1 scan essid hiddenwlanssid will make it connect though. -- cannot connect to hidden ssid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/422174 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to plasma-widget-networkmanagement in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
[Bug 422174] Re: cannot connect to hidden ssid
I confirm that the fix in post #17 (sudo iwlist wlan0 scan essid hiddenwlanssid) works. Kind of... I had installed the gnome network manager because wicd would not connect. So after successfully connecting to my hidden ssid with gnome network manager. I decided to give the kde network manager another try. I removed the gnome one and installed the kde one. Rebooted and issued this command. Much to my surprise it connected! However, I screwed it up when I deleted the gnome keyring stuff when I added my wpa2 info. So the problem is with me anyways is the kde network manager needs the info saved in the keyring-gnome one. The kde keyring is not working for some reason. I hope there is a fix for this. -- cannot connect to hidden ssid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/422174 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to plasma-widget-networkmanagement in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
