Assuming that this is the same problem that I'm having, this isn't a problem with network manager at all. I tried Wicd and I've also tried using the command line and I still haven't been able to connect to any encrypted wireless networks (WEP,WPA,WPA2). I'm using an Intel 2200BG wireless card in an IBM Thinkpad R51. Driver being used is ipw2200. I have tried connecting to 5-6 different encrypted networks with no success, with all 3 different types of encryption. I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 with all the latest updates (as of Nov. 25) and if I remember correctly the problem started about a week to two weeks ago. I've been running Intrepid starting with alpha 2 or 3 and I've never had problems up until now. Once the problem started, I haven't been able to connect to an encrypted network once. I'm not sure if this is a problem with wpasupplicant or with the kernel itself so I'm hoping someone here can figure that out. Also, network manager seems to be storing the psk instead of the passphrase when it's prompting me for the password, and I have no idea whether this is related or whether this is even a problem at all. Seahorse also has psk's stored instead of passphrases. Kernel version is 2.6.26-7-generic. Network manager version is 0.7~~svn20081018t105859-0ubuntu1, Wicd version was newest, wpasupplicant version is 0.6.4-2.
For the attached log, I included everything immediately after a new instance of network manager was started. I'd just deleted all the settings about the wireless network it was trying to connect to, so it prompted me for the passphrase which I entered. After failing to connect the first time, it prompted me for the passphrase again, at which point I hit cancel. It also connected to the wired network somewhere in there. ** Attachment added: "Network Manager syslog" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19926263/nm-output -- [hardy] Can't connect to WPA wireless connection using nm-applet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/229382 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
