Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Workspace AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: publio.escipion.el.africano@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; es-ES; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091103 SUSE/3.5.5-1.1.2 Firefox/3.5.5 openSuSE 11.2's Knetworkmanager doesn't connect to wireless networks that don't diffuse its ID, even editing the connection manually. I have to connect to networks that its ID are not diffused and requires match to MAC addresses, but I had been provided by its IDs and key, and my MAC addresses are authorized (I connected to them through openSuSE 10.2 without troubles). According to the manuals, I have to edit a new connection setting, because Knetworkmanager can't list a network whose ID isn't broadcasted. And, indeed, I had added an entry for each network (2). Those entries are shown (some times) in the list of networks (with an icon of a hand writing on a paper), but stating that they are insecure. No matter whether I click, double-click, triple-click those icons, nothing happens (not even an indication of connection, less an indication of unsuccessful connection); idem whether I chose to provide a new connection hoping to be connected some how. I cann't try other network because those two are the only I are able to connect. Also, I cann't change the parameters of them. I use openSuSE 11.2's KDE 4. The wireless networks that diffusses its IDs are rightly shown. At home I connect trough eth0. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Chose a network whose ID isn't broadcasted. 2. Provide the parameters of such network. 3. Try to connect. Actual Results: Nothing happens (not even an indication of connection, less an indication of unsuccessful connection); idem whether I chose to provide a new connection to be connected. Expected Results: Be connected to the wireless network whose ID isn't diffused but I know it, and the key, and in which my MAC Address is authorized. Although I use SuSE since 7, I use not even to change the default wallpaper (I accept the new KDE 4 as a factual horizon, but I don't change anything: It is nice, mostly, but the theme is the default, and, concerning the plasma, I just setup a picture box and two folders view plus that of the Desktop folder, so I could access my currently working files: I dislike the way KDE 4 is Gnomeized and, as I have just jumped from 10.2, I am unfamiliar with the new KDE). So, think on my openSuSE pretty much as it is just out the box. -- 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.
