[Bug 230838] New: KNetworkManager asks for wpa password on every login
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230838 Summary: KNetworkManager asks for wpa password on every login Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: thoenig@novell.com ReportedBy: llipavsky@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de I configured kwallet to have no password so KNetworkManager should be able to access it (this way it worked in SL10.1). I configured my wlan to use wpa and entered the wpa passphrase. NM opened my kwallet and stored the passphrase into it (passphrase is then stored in kwallet - so afaik no problem here). But when I login next time NM seems not even try to use kwallet and asks me for passphrase again... This is quite annoying because some networks I need to access have long and complicated passphrases... This worked fine in 10.1 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I didn't do update but new installation, so this shouldn't be the case.
Also, is it possible that you have a YaST configuration file for the given network in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-* ?
I don't know, I changed nothing in yast during installation. I'll check it ASAP. BTW Happy New Year ;)) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

OK.

OK.

If you didn't do anything at installation time there should not be a ifcfg-* file for your network either ;-)
BTW Happy New Year ;))

I reinstalled the boxed version of 10.2 only two weeks ago and have all patches installed. Same happens with a newly added user, too, so no config problem afaict. The wireless nic is NOT configured with YAST. I use WPA as encryption: the key is obviosly stored in the wallet correctly but knetworkmanager still keeps asking for the key. Deleting the entry from the wallet makes no difference, too. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230838 ------- Comment #11 from danielstefanmader@web.de 2007-04-04 08:37 MST ------- Yes, this is the exact behavior. But when I look in kwalletmanager right then, the password is clearly there. My current suspect is the "Automatic" setting. The WLAN router supports both WPA and WPA2 and both TKIP and AES (dd-wrt v23sp2 on a Linksys WRT54GSv1.1). So one could think that leaving that decision up to knetworkmanager should work but I found that when telling it to specifically use WPA with TKIP it works much better. Connection works fine now (that is, not counting the race now and then when DCOPserver instead of knetworkmanager tries to access the wallet, as in bug #206641 :) I will add the corresponding log files asap. Just be informed that it also happens with a WEP-ASCII secured network. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Fortunately my sisters laptop has just recently experienced the problem again: knetworkmanager keeps asking for the password again and again albeit it is perfectly stored in the wallet. As it seems to me knetworkmanager actually does read it fine, too, but something else blocks the connection so it plays dumb and asks for a new password. Sorry that I am attaching such a long part of the log file, I was just unsure if you can maybe extract more information that way. The weird behavior is definitely seen at the end of the log but afaict there have been disconnections earlier already which my sister did not notice because she was working... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

In this case NetworkManager assumes that the given key is wrong and thus requests a new key from the user. Therefore KNetworkManager works as designed. For tracking the issue further down we need to find out why the association fails.

I very rarely get this disconnect and password question when the connection is idle for some longer time -- albeit I never had to enter the passphrase >10 times in a row as on my sisters laptop yesterday in order to reestablish the connection. But usually, typically and most often it occurs right after reboot and login and thus when KNM tries to automatically connect. Nevertheless I do not see any difference between the different connection option since *if* I am asked to reenter the password it does not help to select the respective network form the menu in KNM. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I am seeing this behavior on the laptop of my girl-friend, too, with a WEP/ASCII WLAN. She knows the password by heart by now but it still is very annoying. It does not happen all the time, though, so it seems to be very much the same issue. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

For KNM we can simply show the "old" key in the appropriate editbox so that the user only has to click on "connect" when he is sure the key is correct. This way we will keep the possibility to provide a new key when KNM is asked for one. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
