Steps to reproduce: 1. Click the NM icon and select Network Settings > Wireless. 2. Click "Use as Hotspot" and confirm the pop-up, then enter the root password. Almost immediately, the following information is shown in the Network Settings dialog: * Security (in my case WEP) * Network Mame (in my case, machine's hostname) and * an (automatically generated?) security key 3. Click Options next to the Hotspot button and enter the root password to continue. 4. Switch to the Wireless Security tab, check "Show Key" and try to change the key. Upon typing, the Save button becomes inactive and is greyed out so that is is not possible to save the changes. Any other options (for example the Connection name" at the top of the dialog can be changed but as soon as you touch the key, the Save button is deactivated. Does NM automatically check which encryption types are supported by the WLAN card in the machine and select the best one? Or how is it possible that WEP is automatically set? If that is a NM feature that's OK for me, as long as I can change the encryption by clicking the Options button. But that changing the network key is not possible for a Hotspot clearly is a bug IMHO. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
