I am running OpenSuse 11.3 with KDE4, using iwl3945 wireless driver. Several times in the last couple of months the NetworkManager refused to connect to unsecured networks. It's not every time - for example, it is fine with my router at home when I put it in insecure mode. But it would refuse to work at critical points when I have no other ways to connect - e.g., in a hotel or at a conference.
Just curious. I am having the same issue with insecure wireless networks.
I can't tell if this is networkmanager or if this is the applet problem. What I see in the applet is that I choose the SSID to connect to, and it pops out a "connect" dialog, but it does not fill in that SSID - instead, it uses an SSID from some other network I used previously. I fix the SSID to the correct thing, but then the connection is not established, with no obvious error messages.
I can see the AP and the SSID, it try to connect and suddenly it disable it. So it never makes a complete handshake. I am running openSUSE 11.4 Li-f-e (GNOME, KDE 4.6.00 release 6), each desktop has its own Network frontend (KNetworkManager, GNOME NetworkManager), wireless hardware=Intel Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300, wireless driver=iwlagn
My case, I have this: NetworkManager-0.8.2-15.24.1.i586 plasmoid-NetworkManagement-0.9.svn1192577-7.2
Not sure how to debug this, especially given that it happens in places where I usually don't have the time to spend in debugging (like during conferences), nor an alternative connection to google for symptoms. But these are also the exact times when I really need the connection

Hope this can help to be closer finding what is wrong or need to be fixed.
