Description MartinG 2009-05-07 21:18:21 UTC
Version:           0.1-0.11.20090504svn.fc11.x86_64 (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

I have my router set to WPA2 Personal, TKIP+AES, and have a passphrase (13 chars long, pure ascii chars). It works with nm-applet, and also worked with knetworkmanager. However, it doesn't work with the plasmoid.

I have tried both using the passphrase, and the 65 chars long hex code provided by nm-applet in edit connections, but both fails.

Here is the logs, first when I try the kde plasmoid (which fails), then when I use nm-applet (successful). I've hidden my private bits:


$ cd /var/log/
$ tail -f *

Btw, my router is a Linksys WRT-54G, Firmware Version : v4.30.1, HyperWRT 2.1b1 +tofu13c. It works with knetworkmanager CentOS 5.3 on a Dell, Windows XP and Fedora Rawhide using nm-applet.
Comment 2 Kevin Kofler 2009-05-10 19:42:28 UTC
Looks like the applet only tries WPA 1 and not WPA 2 (or RSN as NM calls it).
Comment 3 Kevin Kofler 2009-05-10 19:47:50 UTC
Actually, it doesn't look like it. It was just a guess, probably a wrong one. The log looks more like the key is bad for some reason.

Duping to later bug which correctly identified the cause.
