Actually, take that back. It's still not working even with the right password. It did work for a minute. Then after hibernation, it won't connect again.
Here's the present routine:
. enter correct wireless key/password into netw config dialogue
. press okay
(netw manager says it's connecting / awaiting authorisation & netw config says 'connected')
. Watch while the netw mngr fails to establish a connection
( It just sits there saying 'awaiting authorisation', like it's waiting for some sort of intervention. But there's no password prompt. I put the password in just now anyway. So what's it waiting for? Perhaps networking simply doesn't work unless you use the wallet. The wallet then should tell you there is no choice.
But anyway, the authorisation hasn't worked. So let's try putting in the password again in the only place where it will go in - the netw config dialogue: )
. open the netw config dialogue again
(the password you have just entered has disappeared from the dialogue - it's blank, not saved - is this why it isn't authorising, because when you enter the password, it just get's lost somewhere?)
. So you type in the wireless password again and go back to the beginning.
There is a quirk with Network Manager whereby after the first request for a password, if you need to change the settings again subsequent prompts appear in a 'pop-under' dialogue. It's very easy to not realize it's there. Look on the taskbar for an entry with the key symbol. It'll probably read something like 'system policy prevents blah blah...' If you set this in the connection dialog as a system connection (available to any user) it will always prompt when you try to edit the connection in any way, but you might not see the prompt. Along with that setting there's also the checkbox for 'connect automatically'. You may have selected that already but because you didn't see nor confirm the additional password prompts the change probably hasn't been saved. As for KWallet, on the first prompt to use the service, I simply navigate through the dialogs selecting 'simple setup' or whatever it is (the default) and then opt not to use it and store passwords in plain text. After that, KWallet goes away forever more, unless you initiate it in another program. Simples.
