https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=343112 Summary: Knetwork manager incorrectly setting encryption key type Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: novell@spinink.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- I have been meaning to report this for about a year. I have a lot of connection problems with wifi on a computer in my house. It tends to drop the computer off the wifi every few days. Sometimes you can reconnect but others you cannot. In the case where it is unable to reconnect to the AP, the dialog opens asking for the SSID and enc. type./key. I am guessing that it is using the information for that access points last attempted connection. The ssid shows correctly, as does the key, but the encryption type shows the first option rather than the previously used one. I do not use wep passphrase, but use an ascii key. Yet it always defaults back to wep passphrase, so when i try to reconnect it fails, but changing this back to ascii it will successfully connect. I feel that this bug goes deeper than just showing the wrong default enc type. I believe it also keeps knetworkmanager from reconnecting, which is what prompts that config dialog to come up in the first place. This also only seems to happen with WEP and does not occur with WPA. hope this helps. -- 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.
