I think I have a similar issue. I use manual configuration to connect to my WLAN network. I write the correct ESSID, then I select "WPA Personal" as my password type, and then I write my PASSPHRASE (not the PSK key resulting from the passphrase). Of course, I set up correctly all the IP parameters.
After configuring manually my wireless connection, it doesn't get connected. In my router, the laptop is connected but not authenticated, so the problem must be the PSK key that the laptop is using. Effectively, that's the problem, network-admin does not write a correct PSK key on the "/etc/network/interfaces" file, because using the command "wpa_passphrase" gives me a different PSK key which works after restarting the interfaces with "/etc/init.d/networking stop" and "/etc/init.d/networking start" (before restarting the networking service, I modifiy the PSK key in the interfaces file and put the correct one). And this is an annoying problem, because every time I start Ubuntu, I have to change the PSK key on the "interfaces" file, because the PSK key is overridden with the wrong one, so I have to modify it and restart the networking service everytime I start Ubuntu. -- [gutsy] network-admin does not update WPA PSK https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164955 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
