Hi. I think this bug should also be assigned to the KDE's knetworkmanager, as it lacks the feature as well. Additionaly here are my thoughts on the subject:
Some ingenious admins use the key index as an added "protection" to their wireless environments. However rare the situations are, every graphical operating system from Microsoft (including Windows Mobile on PocketPCs) provides a way to set it in the wireless configuration dialogs. In Ubuntu this could come as an Advanced suboption. P.S. I am aware that it is not impossible to configure this setting, for example one can follow instructions given in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=293444 , but doing it in other way than through GUI disintergrates the feel of the operating system and adds a great deal of a hassle especially when one switches between network frequently (as the last post on the given forum thread from an annoyed user Oblivionvlad proves). After all, for me this seems to be the only missing wireless config that non geek may be required to use, and also it should not be hard at all to implement. -- No support for key indexes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/42860 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
