[opensuse] Wireless - Unable to use WEP/WPA
I have an Intel 4965AGN. it works fine with no encryption. When I try to enable either WEP or WPA/WPA2 it failes to connect. This is under both yast and network manager. Does anyone have any suggestions? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Wrong password or config? Provide some more diagnostics (messages, logs) etc., and I'm sure someone can answer your question. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (12.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What type of connection do you have ? A point to point connection or you are trying to connect to an Access Point? I have not been able to use encryption for point to point connections. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If you're using KDE4.* DON'T use KNetworkmanager 4!! It's defective and is even works if the site is "hidden!!" Use the KDE 3.5 version. If all else fails, set it up via Yast using the ifup method.

You've made me see red. I just put several days effort while I was officially sick in bed into making NetworkManager-kde4 able to deal with hidden networks, since guys like Tony pointed out that they didn't work and I said I'd have something useable by the end of the week.

You're welcome to use what you like but don't dissuade others[*] from using this as if it were intrinsically defective and never to improve. Will [*] who are either using KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop or openSUSE:Factory to get KNetworkManager 4 so should know it is under development. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Why.....because I told you the truth? NOT gonna happen! It has been broken. It SOMETIMES will work, but NOT reliably....dropping connection FREQUENTLY is still a problem. It's so bad that I won't allow it on client systems and stick with the KDE3 version. If you can fix the continual dropping of connection, AND make it reliable for non-broadcast access points, then I'll be glad to use it for all clients.

It's alright if you do not complain either, if others treat you as unthankful as you behave here. It's not what you say, but how you say it. Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, I've had precisely _no_ problems for a week or two, now. It connects reliably when I start up from shutdown or suspend; it does not disconnect unless I shut it down or suspend it; I can connect from anywhere I can get a signal.

I use networkmanager. It just works in WPA2 in home or office.

Part of the problem is, I think, chipset related. You're not using Intel, and Intel is all I use and have clients spec. for new boxen and updated ones. There's been problems with Intel chipsets in the past, and this COULD be a contributing factor now as well. Fred -- "Educate and inform the whole mass of the people...

Uh, Fred, you seem not to have read the fourth item in my list of resources, which you deleted :-).

I think this goes back a ways. When I got my Lenovo T-61 I was using OpenSuse 11.0 / KDE3. I had to install not only the iwl4965 -ucode but also the ipw-firmware from my repository before I could get my wireless functioning. It works with both ifup and knetworkmanager just fine. I can't tell you about KDE4 since I am not interested in using it until it gets a little more polished.
