Public bug reported: I can connect to my WPA2 PSK network using nm-applet.
With WEP I just cannot establish a connection using NetworkManager. There are no changes made on my /etc/network/interfaces file and the connection timeouts logging: "Dec 22 00:58:45 orkun-laptop NetworkManager: <debug> [1198281525.998242] real_act_stage4_ip_config_timeout(): Activation (wlan0/wireless): could not get IP configuration info for 'Gefuehlsfledermaus', asking for new key. " When I use sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid Gefuehlsfledermaus key s:endoplasmatik sudo dhclient wlan0 I get an instant connection. When I try NetworkManager again, while being connected, the essid output of iwconfig changes from "Gefuehlsfledermaus" to "off/any" for maybe 2 to 5 seconds and then changes back to "Gefuehlsfledermaus". This problem pretty much sounds like: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome- system-tools/+bug/67152 - but for my part I dont really see the wep key in iwconfig, so I cannot compare ndiswrapper vs. iwconfig. I am using ndiswrapper 1.51(latest stable) because of some threads telling me to upgrade to 1.49 - which DID fix a bug that caused hard locks using heavy bittorrent traffic(thanks god, that was annoying). The driver is the Windows 98 inf because the XP version seems messy on ubuntu. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/network$ lsusb Bus 005 Device 004: ID 0bda:8189 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/network$ ndiswrapper -l net8187b : driver installed device (0BDA:8189) present [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/network$ uname -r 2.6.22-14-generic Apart from that i found the problem at https://bugs.launchpad.net/baz/+bug/114605 - but this thread is expired(I am new to launchpad, don't know what to do then). ** Affects: ndiswrapper Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: network-manager Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- networkmanager cannot connect to wep network although iwconfig can https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178031 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
