Description josh 2006-12-07 17:35:10 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

The K Network manager gui needs a change so that you can specify a WEP network with PEAP.  This is possible with the Gnome network manager gui, but not knetworkmanager.  It seems after selecting WPA enterprise we need a dropdown to change the key type to dynamic WEP.

Here are the steps to connect to this type of network in GNOME.  Hope this helps.
1.click the network-manager icon
2.select Connect to Other Wireless Network..
3.changeWireless Security toWPA Enterprise
This expands the menu to have more options
4.type network name, example: twdata
5.change EAP method to PEAP
6.change Key Type to Dynamic WEP
7.type user id in Identity, example: naustin
8.type user password in Password, example: turkey
9.Then connect.

Thanks!!!

Add Key Type option in WPA Enterprise dialog

This patch adds an Key Type option in WPA Enterprise dialog in order to enable
PEAP authentication with Dynamic WEP. Tested on Kubuntu 7.04.

Comment 2 Matthias Lenk 2007-06-05 19:23:36 UTC

To build the patch I just added on (K)ubuntu 7.04 do the following:

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
$ sudo apt-get build-dep knetworkmanager
$ apt-get source knetworkmanager

change into knetworkmanager directory and apply patch

$ patch -p1 < path_to_patch

The following steps are necessary since there is a problem with the Makefiles in the Ubuntu source package

$ automake
$ perl admin/am_edit

Then as usual:

$ ./configure
$ make install

Have fun!

There are other key types missing as well:
TKIP and AES-CCMP

Both are available by nm-applet, but not by knetworkmanager. Please add them!

Comment 4 Roland Wolters 2007-07-18 16:46:09 UTC

Just checked, the patch includes the other methods as well, am I right?
I submitted the patch at the Novell.com bugzilla as well:

this is a duplicate of Bug 143526
(or maybe the other one is?)

Comment 6 Roland Wolters 2007-09-18 20:16:41 UTC

Please test against the newest SVN version. The latest commits (5 days ago) added support for key management to knetworkmanager.

Comment 7 Roland Wolters 2007-11-02 18:13:41 UTC

This bug should be closed.

Comment 8 Will Stephenson 2008-06-14 15:13:37 UTC

Fixed in KNM 0.2
