The router I'm not able to establish the connection to is a Netgear WGR614 v5 (I also updated the firmware to make sure I have the latest) I am able to connect to a Linksys router with WPA-PSK authentication and I was able to connect to an insecure Network, I suppose it's a Linksys router too, given that the SSID is "linksys". I use KDE4 NetworkManager but also tested the connection to the Netgear router with ifup on 11.2, which didn't work either. In an early stage of my testing I updated the kernel-firmware to: kernel-firmware-20090821 from Kernel:HEAD. # hwinfo --wlan 21: PCI c00.0: 0282 WLAN controller [Created at pci.318] UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_8086_4229 Unique ID: y9sn.9RJazxQBVB3 Parent ID: qTvu.TkjeLK60Af8 SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.1/0000:0c:00.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:0c:00.0 Hardware Class: network Model: "Intel PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection" Vendor: pci 0x8086 "Intel Corporation" Device: pci 0x4229 "PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection" SubVendor: pci 0x8086 "Intel Corporation" SubDevice: pci 0x1120 Revision: 0x61 Driver: "iwlagn" Driver Modules: "iwlagn" Device File: wlan0 Features: WLAN Memory Range: 0xf1ffe000-0xf1ffffff (rw,non-prefetchable) IRQ: 30 (no events) HW Address: 00:21:5c:99:20:43 Link detected: yes WLAN channels: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 36 40 44 48 52 56 60 64 149 153 157 161 165 WLAN frequencies: 2.412 2.417 2.422 2.427 2.432 2.437 2.442 2.447 2.452 2.457 2.462 5.18 5.2 5.22 5.24 5.26 5.28 5.3 5.32 5.745 5.765 5.785 5.805 5.825 WLAN encryption modes: WEP40 WEP104 TKIP CCMP WLAN authentication modes: open sharedkey wpa-psk wpa-eap Module Alias: "pci:v00008086d00004229sv00008086sd00001120bc02sc80i00" Driver Info #0: Driver Status: iwlagn is active Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe iwlagn" Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Attached to: #8 (PCI bridge) '/usr/sbin/iwlist scan' finds the AP: Cell 11 - Address: 00:0F:B5:6B:47:96 Channel:11 Frequency:2.462 GHz (Channel 11) Quality=44/70 Signal level=-66 dBm Encryption key:on ESSID:"my_SSID" Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s 24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s Bit Rates:6 Mb/s; 9 Mb/s; 12 Mb/s; 48 Mb/s Mode:Master Extra:tsf=00000013eb092263 Extra: Last beacon: 2843ms ago IE: Unknown: 00056675686F6B IE: Unknown: 010882848B962430486C IE: Unknown: 03010B IE: Unknown: 2A0100 IE: Unknown: 2F0100 IE: Unknown: 32040C121860 IE: Unknown: DD06001018010000 IE: WPA Version 1 Group Cipher : TKIP Pairwise Ciphers (1) : TKIP Authentication Suites (1) : PSK When I start "activating" the Networkconnection, the window opens to enter my password or confirm the password and then the applet keeps trying to activate the connection, showing the "Activating" message.
