Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
First off, what I'm using:
Kubuntu Karmic 9.10 Beta, last updated 10:30pm MDT
Wireless card is an Atheros ar928x (yes, I know)
This is a laptop, HP G70
I'm having an issue with not being able to connect to my router which is
a Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 running the Tomato firmware. I don't think this
matters.
I have SSID broadcasting turned off, WEP 64 bit with a hex key turned
on.
I am using knetworkmanager to try to connect. The process I use is as
follows (using the taskbar icon).
Click network manager
Click "Connect to Other Network..."
Click "Connect to Other With..."
Click "Connect" button
-- This brings up the Add Network Connection dialog --
Change connection name to my wireless network name
Check "Connect Automatically"
Click "Wireless" tab
Type my SSID into the SSID box
Click the "Wireless Security" tab
Change "Security" drop down to "WEP"
Change "Key Type" drop down to "Hex key"
Type in my hex key
Click "OK"
With NetworkManager running in no-daemon mode I get the following Warning:
NetworkManager: <WARN> user_connection_get_settings_cb():
user_connection_get_settings_cb: Invalid connection: 'NMSettingWireless' /
'ssid' invalid: 1
Nothing else happens. I have tried opening various dialogs and clicking
the connection and it never does any pulse. dmesg shows nothing and
there are no other messages on the console from no-daemon
NetworkManager.
If I can provide other info, do let me know. I'm happy to provide any
information.
