After some debugging I noticed that my /var/log/NetworkManager contained :
NetworkManager: <WARN> get_secrets_cb(): Couldn't get connection secrets: A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.Connection.Secrets" member "GetSecrets" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings").
This seems to be controlled thru the file /etc/dbus-1/system.d/knetworkmanager.conf
and the lines :
send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.Connection.Secrets "/> (this line may not be exactly what others have as I have hacked it a bit to get it working).
Anyway the following is what I now have in each of the 'policy' sections of /etc/dbus-1/system.d/knetworkmanager.conf to get my wireless to work: <allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings" send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.Connection.Secrets "/>
Am I missing an update somewhere ?
Yours does not look like mine. As mentioned I had hacked it. I did not really want to get back to the original (for me NetworkManager-kde-0.7r848570-23.2.1 as well) as I did not want to do without my wifi connection :)
The contents of the the KDE4 version (NetworkManager-kde4) and the KDE3 version are slightly different, however. I also had trouble with KDE4's network manager component, so even though I am running KDE4.2.1 I'm using KDE 3.5's network manager component. Perhaps you've found the cause of my troubles as well! This is the same for me.
A very annoying thing for me is that the NetworkManager plasmoid/applet/thing when it is not able to use the definition of the network I gave it(and named using the SSID), then searches for a new wifi network, finds the one I defined above, and tries to help me access it (by putting in the appropriate WPA keys), which of course fails as it is exactly the same as the first network I set up. :( I think that I use very little of KDE3 anymore, but I have to use knetworkmanager!
