[Bug 519326] New: (k)networkmanager does not connect / does not show all networks

http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=519326 Summary: (k)networkmanager does not connect / does not show all networks Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Milestone 3 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: axel.braun@gmx.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009060200 SUSE/3.0.11-0.1.1 Firefox/3.0.11 Using traditional method to connect to WLAN works fine. Doing this with Knetworkmanager offers the following problems: 1) Not all networks are shown. Seems that the WEP ones are not shown, although a iwlist shows then 2) creating a new connection: all networks are shown so far. Networkmanager should aready propose the detected encryption. 3) saving the connection freezes he GUI for at least a minute 4) connecting to the net is not possible: networkmanager asks over and over for the password (and yes, I entered it correctly), but cant connect. Switching back traditional method works ad-hoc Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. see description 2. 3. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'm not sure whether or not all networks are visible through either method, my network always shows up and I can't say I have payed much attention to the other. Regardless you will find the requested output attached. What I meant to say in my previous post (but failed miserably) was that I have never been able to connect to my wlan via networkmanager, the password dialog just keeps coming back while the traditional method 'just works'. BTW, bugzilla gave me an big red internal server error when submitting the attachments.

Comparing the results however I get the feeling I'm not suffering from any bug preventing k-nm to display some networks. Worth mentioning is that I've got a net that inside k-nm is displayed twice. Here is a list of the networks now shown in k-nm. 1. Halford 2. TN_private_729EFC 3. apa 4. B2_private_18 5. Kakan 6. B2_private_12 7. Hilda 8. BStone 9. Inteno_82 10. Vasco 11. Wireless 12.
