I can confirm this bug, but this is not related to a hidden network. Instead, while the ipw3945 is performing the auth handshake to install a WPA connection, Knetworkmanagers times out the connection, wrongly thinking it has failed the authentication, and requesting a new authentication key.
If u say Cancel to the new key request and then reconnect you'll see the green led of ipw3945 has just becomed stable green , which means connected, and knetworkmanager will suddenly start the dhcp procedure because it founds the wireless link has already been established. I think this could be easly fixed just setting a longer timeout for ipw3945 wireless cards, which are slower in joining wpa networks, maybe due to the fact they have a separate running daemon service which helps the kernel module , maybe slowing down the driver itself. -- NetworkManager and iwp3945 Driver WPA/Hidden Network https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/127660 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a bug contact for knetworkmanager in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
