The issue seems to be with KDE Network Manager. Here is what I found out by running Ubunutu 9.04 and Kubuntu 9.04 live CDs:
- connection to non-secured wireless AP works in both - connection to WPA secured AP works out of the box only from Ubuntu, but not from Kubuntu - connection to WPA secured AP is possible to setup from Kubuntu through 'interfaces' and 'wpa_supplicant.conf' files as outlines in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo - all of the above was done on the same wireless client (Lenovo R51 notebook) and AP (WRT54G with Tomtato firmware) Some details: -------------------- Ubuntu 9.04 Live off the CD - Connects to WPA2 secured network out of the box -- asks for WPA2 keyphrase -- then asks for KeyRing (or smth like that) password, the step that is missing in KDE4 NetManager Kubuntu 9.04 Live off the CD - Does NOT connects to WPA2 secured network out of the box - the workaround through wpa_supplicant.conf file does work Some conclusions: since the 'low level' wireless setup (through wpa_supplicant) does work even in Kubuntu, it really seems to be the issue with the KDE Network Manager rather than chipset drivers.... Just my 2c.. -- [iwlagn] networkmanager applet cannot connect to WPA2 home network. Neither can WICD. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/348275 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to plasma-widget-network-manager in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
