Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
In Intrepid when I attempt to connect to my WPA2-personal secured
network, nm asks for key, but after a few seconds of trying to connect
asks for it again. This happens repeatedly and it never connects.
If I remover the security from the connection nm can connect without a
problem.
I've noticed that if I go into 'edit connections' and click to show the
current passphrase instead of my password I get a string of letters and
numbers like this:
5eea414a9785dd7e60596ed7c6916737a4ebe7b3d7fafd678bd8c7c1638fd908 When I
get prompted to enter the key when trying to connect, if I click show
password I get the same string of letters and numbers. If I change this
string to the correct password it appears to save (no error) but then
just asks me for the key again (again with the string above filled in).
I thought it might be the case the nm was trying to use a previous key
to connect, so I went into 'Passwords and encryption keys' to delete any
old keys, but unfortunately that app crashes as soon as i click delete.
Which I believe is LP#265040.
Deleting the connection in nm 'edit connections' dialog successfully
removes the connection, but as soon as I recreate the connection the
problem just reoccurs.
Finally, choosing to save the connection as 'System setting' is
unsuccessful, though I think this might be LP#255839.
