Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager-gnome
I have a laptop with a Dell Truemobile 1150 mPCI card that uses the
native hermes/orinoco drivers. I'm using this to connect to a Linksys
WRT54G router with 128-bit WEP. Yes, this card supports 128-bit WEP.
My problem is that I can connect manually using iwconfig, but network-
manager always fails when pointed at the same AP, and when given the
exact same WEP key (and telling it it's hex, not ascii or passphrase).
Here are the commands that bring it up successfully:
sudo iwconfig eth1 essid a2 key xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx open sudo
dhclient eth1
network-manager-gnome detects the AP, and pops up a dialog asking for
the WEP. I tell it it's a hex key, paste it in, and tell it to use open
authentication, but it always times out without connecting.
The relevant log from syslog is attached.
