This means trying to connect without giving key while we are sure that key is needed. Connection button should be deactivated when focusing network with encryption used. -- 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.

My network uses WPA encryption but... KNetworkManager doesn't check "Use Wireless Security" by default. What is point of that? If we click "Next" we will skip typing key network and connection won't be succesfull. -- 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.

This is something absolutly crazy as it SHOULD be done by KNetworkManager without even showing that to user. In some rare situations (when 2 different encryptions are available, ex. WPA1 and WPA2) there could be radio button. But that's all. Also there is magic "PSK" which for most of the users mean nothing. -- 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.

I have to check this option manually and then I have to type key. It's even bigger mess with other Cell 02 - Address: 00:14:78:52:51:89 ESSID:"NTC_03" Mode:Master Channel:5 Frequency:2.432 GHz (Channel 5) Quality=43/100 Signal level=-73 dBm Noise level=-71 dBm Encryption key:on Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s Extra:tsf=00000049daf86181network NTC_03 which is: As far as I know "iwlist" this network uses WEP, right? When I configure connection to this network on second step "Use Wireless Security" is unchecked again. Moreover when I check this option, KNetworkManager suggest me using "WPA Personal" which is not proper as far as I know. Could you explaint to me, what is a reason of this situation? Is there still something to do with KNetworkManager or maybe I am simply doing something wrong? -- 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.

True, that's still missing. Comment #5 was only about the WPA not requiring to select the "magic" settings anymore. -- 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.
