Rob, would you mind to post your NetworkManager log (/var/log/NetworkManager)? Lowering severity.

Helmut, I'm sorry, I had to install another distro (which the wireless worked with) on this machine as it was needed urgently. So I can't provide this information. My apologies, Helmut. -- 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.

The NetworkManager log shows "disconnected during association, asking for new key.". This normally means that the association was refused by the access point (due to a wrong key for example). Therefor it is probably not KNetworkManager but NetworkManager which causes the trouble. Please try the gnome frontend (nm-applet) if possible (package: NetworkManager-gnome). Is it possible to change the encryption key (only for testing) to something without special characters (only alphanumeric symbols)? -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=242137#c7 Monika Schilling changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEEDINFO |REOPENED Info Provider|ms@mschilling.com | --- Comment #7 from Monika Schilling 2007-07-03 10:34:48 MST --- Helmut, I will present the outcome of my tasks in reverse order, so that the more important information comes first. CHANGING THE WPA-KEY I changed the key to : ThisIsALessSecureKey During several iterations of Activation Starting KNetworkManager Selecting Options - Enable Wireless Selecting Wireless Networks - 928547161 Entering the WPA key Deactivation Selecting Options – Disable Wireless Closing KnetworkManager KNetworkManager connected every time with one exception, where it failed to obtain an IP address during the timeout period. I would like to stress the using the ifup-method obtaining an IP adressed via DHCP has always worked. So it seems that KNetworkManager (or Networkmanager) often, but not always, dislikes special characters in the key. I will continue to use KNetworkManager and the new key for a few days in order to observe. TRYING GNOME FRONTEND (nm-applet) I installed the package NetworkManager-gnome. Starting nm-applet resulted in a popup dialog with the text: The NetworkManager applet could not find some required resources. It cannot continue. Clicking the OK Button the box closed and that was it. ps revealed, that neverheless nm-applet was still running. The installation had a side effect. In my Java applications (jEdit, JAP, jDict, ..) the fonts (especially the menu font Tahoma) were suddenly antialiased. Fortunately this disappeared with removing NetworkManager-gnome and the 17 dependend packages. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=242137#c9 --- Comment #9 from Monika Schilling 2007-07-05 01:09:00 MST --- Helmut, I activated KWallet support and it turned out that likewise sometimes KNetworkManager fails to obtain the key from the wallet. After this comment I will post the NetworkManager log (/var/log/NetworkManager). This are the steps I performed: - Resumed machine from hibernate - Closed and restarted KNetworkManager - Entered password for KDE Wallet And this happened: Tray showed: A wallet is open KNetworkManager started connection process At 28% the dialog box to enter the WPA key popped up. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=242137#c14 David Wise changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |o.wise.1@bigpond.com --- Comment #14 from David Wise 2007-08-15 00:16:37 MST --- Hi I also reported this bug as Knetworkmanager been slow to start the WiFi connection. With no WEP it took upto five minutes to connect. It appeared that there was a timeout issue as the /var/log/networkmanager contains a lot of the following errors "Aug 14 10:39:21 laptop NetworkManager: <WARN> request_and_convert_scan_results(): card took too much time scanning. Get a better one." I tied again with WEP enabled and after getting past the WEP dialog now I get a "hang" at 28%. Again there is continuous string of the above warning messages. Looking for a timeout problem, I found that there is a timeout parameter in etc/sysconfig/network/config - NM_ONLINE_TIMEOUT="0". I have tried changing this using the sysconfig edit tool but there is no way of changing it via the GUI so I edited it manually. There is no guide as to what the interger represents so tried "1" then "5". Restarted the network after each change with no noticeable difference. The traditional ifup works like a charm - just inconvenient on the road. -- 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.

See below - the first is following boot with ifup. The second is after network re-start using passphrase at the 28% stage. Note that I have only used the 40bit WEP but the passphrase generated a 104 bit one.
