I removed all of networkmanagement's configs and data an tried again. This time it worked. If one compares the connection settings it appears that although security is set to "", i.e. empty there is a security section in that config file which causes the failure.
non-working connection config file:
[802-11-wireless]
band=bg
bssid=
channel=0
macaddress=
mode=infrastructure
mtu=0
rate=0

seenbssids=00:1D:0F:D9:03:99

I found the bug. If one sets a connection to e.g. WPA Personal the following section is added to the config file: [802-11-wireless-security] authalg=none group= keymgmt=WPAPSK leapusername= pairwise= proto= securityType=WpaPsk weptxkeyindex=0 If one edits the connection after that and sets its security to "none" the section is not removed. And connecting fails. So either knetwokmanager should ingnore the config file section if it does not fit the value set in "security=" or it should get removed as soon as the security is set to "none" in the connection's settings. Can you test a more recent snapshot of Plasma NM and not the monolithic knetworkmanager, which umaintained and nobody is fixing bugs in it? |
