Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
I apologize for the lack of requested info, but as it's a bug with
connecting to the network I can't get the info and file the bug at the
same time.
The distro is a fully-updated (as of Tues Sept 22 ~9AM) Karmic Alpha 6
install. The computer is an intel core 2 duo laptop with an intel
3945abg wireless card.
When loading up a previously-used WPA-Enterprise network with a hidden
SSID, nm will load all the previously entered settings aside from the
password. All fields are greyed out, and with the password field empty,
the "connect" button is greyed out, which does not allow me to connect
to the network.
Removing the saved network settings (through "Edit Wireless Networks")
and re-entering the settings via "Connect to Hidden Wireless Network"
causes nm-applet to crash (and I can't send the apport info, as I'm not
connected to the network). To be clear, I can enter all of the info
when setting up the new network (id, password, ca certs file, etc.), but
nm crashes upon trying to connect. Connecting to a visible WPA-Personal
network at home is fine, and nm loads the settings and such
automatically without crashing.
This worked in earlier alphas of karmic (I believe alpha 5).
Please let me know what I can do to help out and test, as I would love
to upgrade to karmic when it comes out, but this would be a deal-breaker
as I need connectivity at work.
