Same problem here with Toshiba Qosimo F45 with Intel 4965AGN chipset and Gutsy 7.10 with WPA2 Personal and AES encryption and broadcast SSID and automatic configuration (DHCP). Anytime I shut down computer or even log off as user and back on, I find that the laptop has defaulted to WPA with a 40 character shared key (not displayed). I have to manually reset it to WPA2 Personal and reenter the shared key in Network Manager from the System>Admin>Network menu. After the screen displays "Changing Interface configuration", the settings INITIALLY show up under Properties and I can connect until log off as a user or reboot.
Here are some other peculiar items I have noticed with Network Manager: 1. Network Manager seems to leave me at the Administrator level (? -- not sure if this is the right term here) not only for Network Manager, but also for Synaptic Package Manager (i.e., I am no longer prompted for a password to access the administrative activities after the first time using Network Manager). As I recall, each invocation of these administrative level functions is supposed to ask for a password to function in "sudo" mode. 2. After manually resetting Network Manager, it INITIALLY will display WPA2 when Properties are again reviewed. If I come back after 15 or so minutes (maybe less) and check them again without ever logging out, it now shows WPA instead of WPA2, BUT I am still connected to the network with WPA2. I hope this additional info helps in fixing the bug, whether it be in Network Manager or Ubuntu. While I am reasonably computer literate, I am a relative Newbie to Linux. Thanks! Any suggested fix would be appreciated. -- WPA2 Personal wireless networks don't work without manual configuration https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106129 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
