Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
Ubuntu Intrepid
Networkmanager Version: 0.7~~svn20080908t183521+eni0-0ubuntu2
WPA Supplicant version: 0.6.4-2
wireless card: 00:0c.0 Network controller: RaLink
RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI
wireless driver: rt61pci
I configure my wireless in the interfaces with.........
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.1.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
dns-nameservers 68.87.85.98 68.87.69.146
wireless-essid [my ssid]
wireless-key [my WEP key]
............it fails while networkmanager is installed, work after I
purge network manager.
If I ifdown/ifup the interface it looks like everything gets configured,
address, netmask, etc.... but something fails while authenticating so it
disassociates from the access point.
My next thought was maybe if fails because networkmanager wants to use
the wpa-supplicant, but I did not supply wpa options or that WEP fails
with wpa-supplicant with my card/driver combination, with some research
I found this configuration works..............................
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.1.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
dns-nameservers 68.87.85.98 68.87.69.146
wpa-ssid [my ssid]
wpa-key_mgmt NONE
wpa-wep_key0 [my WEP key]
.............So wpa-supplicant can do WEP with my combination of card
and driver.
With the above working configuration that uses the wpa-* options I fired
up synaptic and selected network-manager-kde for installation, letting
it pull in the rest of the networkmanger packages and rebooted the
system.
After rebooting I opened a terminal and ran ifconfig which displayed not
configuration for wlan0 and iwconfig shows encryption being disabled.
After doing ifdown, then ifup, then ifconfig shows address, gateway,
etc... attempting to ping the router fails, iwconfig shows encryption is
still disabled.
I copied /var/log/syslog to my home directory for inclusion with this
bug report, attachment follows. Then purged the networkmanager packages
and rebooted and the wirless works again.
