http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=498284 Summary: NetworkManager does not support ascii WEP keys Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Factory Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jmatejek@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- in current factory, the option for inputing ascii passphrases for WEP is missing. this makes connection to most WEP networks impossible, because in 99% of public settings, you're handed an ascii passphrase, not the key itself (and "128bit password" or whatever is the other option does something weird with the passphrase, definitely not what the user wants) in fact, ascii passphrase should be the default, or NM should be able to guess (or in worse cases use trial-error approach) what key it should use my wireless card is iwl4965. i can connect by manually inputing s:(password) to iwconfig, but not through NM -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
