No secret. I selected the network, followed through the panels and plugged in the key and it just worked.
Where? Where do you select WPA-PSK? Where do you enter the shared key? Those options do not appear in my installed version of knetworkmanager. Which gui are you using for it? KDE3/4/Gnome?
1) Create a new connection and click on the SSID, then Next. 2) Verify "Use Wireless Security" and "WPA Personal" are selected. Enter key and click on "Connect and Save". 3) Done
I have done the above on two computers and at least 5 access points. It always works for me.
Yep, tried exactly that. It asks for a password, not a shared key. I copy and paste in the PSK shared key and it asks again. I do it again and it goes away silently without connecting. What type of key/passphrase are you using? I'm using a 64 character hex string (which works fine under Windows, under Linux with ifup and with the command line cnetworkmanager (which won't properly manage the wired network interfaces), just not with knetworkmanager/kde4. -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Try 63 characters and see if that helps. Also, I believe when you use a 64 character string, it can only contain hex digits, whereas the 63 character string can be any printable character, although I have found some devices choke on certain characters, so I limit the string to alpha numberic characters only. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
