Title:
can't connect to a wep 128-bit passphrase router using moblin remix
9.10
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
Binary package hint: network-manager-gnome
I just bought a Inspiron mini laptop from Dell. It comes with ubuntu
moblin remix 9.10 preinstalled.
From ubuntu 9.10, I can connect to my router using network-manager-
gnome. I choose the option "WEP 128-bit passphrase" and it lets me
type in my passphrase. From the network manager in moblin remix
9.10, there no WEP 128-bit passphrase option, just a WEP/WPA dropdown
box. I tried WEP and entered the passphrase. It didn't work. I
tried converting the passphrase into hex. That didn't work. I tried
s:passphrase to see if maybe it would work. It didn't.
I tried sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome and it installed.
I then tried to open the gnome network manager. It gave some error
messages:
$nm-applet
libnotify-Message: GetServerInformation call failed: Too few arguments in
reply
libnotify-Message: Error getting spec version
** (nm-applet:2626): WARNING **: get_all_cb: couldn't retrieve system
