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 * Starting kde-plasma-networkmanagement-0.1-0.11.20090504svn.fc11.x86_64 here: ==> messages <== May 7 20:55:27 localhost NetworkManager: <info> (wlan0): bringing up device.

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.
Looks like the applet only tries WPA 1 and not WPA 2 (or RSN as NM calls it).
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. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 195824 ***
