http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=904712 Bug ID: 904712 Summary: Network Manager Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 13.1 Version: Final Hardware: Other OS: openSUSE 13.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: jzimm0007@aol.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- The following bug report has been submitted: Product: SUSE 13.1 32bit I bet it's all of them. Patch Level: Defect: I have a printer (Canon MX749) that requires the wpa/wpa2 key to be lowercase and the SSID for the router has to be lowercase for it to connect to the router so I can print from SUSE wirelessly. (Yes it is possible, the driver is just hard to find) Every time I boot up the system I have to reconnect and fiddle with the network manager to get it to recognize that the hidden SSID is lowercase, because it automatically capitalizes the first letter in the SSID, it won't connect or sometimes it asks for a password even though it's properly entered in the network manager app. I actually installed it on a Gigabyte computer for my dad and it also kept asking for the password to the wifi (totally different router) even though it was typed properly. Other Software and Versions Being Used: I'm guessing it's in all of them since this is the first time (I'm assuming) it's been noticed. Steps to Duplicate: 1.)rename the router to a lowercase SSID with a lowercase 'Mixed WPA/WPA2' AES key The key renewal interval was set to 3600 if that's relevant. It's an 8 letter lowercase word password. 2.)Delete all the wireless connections like where it says when they are last used under manage connections in the network manager app if there are any. Reboot the computer 3.)Click on the network manager app in the tray. Click hidden network>Type in the lowercase SSID name and hit enter. 4.)Type in the correct WPA/WPA2 key (8 letter lowercase password) Notice it capitalizes the SSID so you have to make it lowercase. (Don't lowercase it until you want it to work) Go to the Wireless screen and click on select and random. 5.)Click apply and okay or whatever to keep the settings. 6.)Now if you didn't lowercase the SSID first letter it won't connect or sometimes it'll ask for the password after it's entered properly. I didn't use the KDE Wallet (I don't think I'm pretty sure I just canceled it or hit finish to make it so I didn't have to use it) 7.)So basically to get it to work in Network Manager I had to keep typing in the lowercase SSID and the WPA/WPA2 password every time I booted the computer and it kept adding entries to the network management, but it would eventually connect. I hit cancel in the authentication dialog and kept trying it again and things like that to make it want to connect. Other Scenarios: Yes Environment Description: I'm using a laptop and two desktops all with SUSE 13.1. It's a Netgear PCI Card with a Tenda Router (It has no external antennas and it's white) The netgear has a white box antenna with 2 wires to connect to the HP Computer. I have an MSI E45 gaming computer it's on also. The laptop is a Toshiba Sattelite L25-S119 that randomly freezes when it unlocks like when it adjusts the brightness or something and it uses the Atheros driver which doesn't work right either, but those are other bugs. Problem Environment: Don't know Testing Environment: Didn't try that Fix: Just make the name lowercase when it pops up and asks you, but you keep getting entries in Network Manager after you type in the new lowercase SSID;s Additional: I have all the latest updates installed and it's because I have a wireless printer that requires it to be setup that way. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
