nm-tool shows: Wireless Access Points(* = Current AP) *DieAJs: Infra, 00:1C:4A:04:BC:75, Freq 2417 MHz, Rate 54 Mb/s, Strength 41 WPA2 iwlist scan wlan0 shows as well: IE: IEEE 802.11i/WPA2 Version 1 Group Cipher : CCMP Pairwise Ciphers (1) : CCMP Authentication Suites (1) : PSK Btw. the same with Novell network - it should be WPA Enterprise but shows as WPA-PSK. Do you have an off-by-one error?
Created attachment 35738 [details] screenshot to show another bug in this area nm-tool reports: Wireless Access Points(* = Current AP) Brezenbeck: Infra, 00:12:BF:73:9F:DB, Freq 2412 MHz, Rate 54 Mb/s, Strength 57 WPA2 *DieAJs: Infra, 00:1C:4A:04:BC:75, Freq 2417 MHz, Rate 54 Mb/s, Strength 44 WPA2 WLAN-358116: Infra, 00:23:08:35:81:7A, Freq 2432 MHz, Rate 54 Mb/s, Strength 31 WPA WPA2 W: Infra, 00:18:84:10:D9:16, Freq 2422 MHz, Rate 54 Mb/s, Strength 34 WPA WPA2 W(eierless): Infra, 00:18:84:10:02:9A, Freq 2417 MHz, Rate 54 Mb/s, Strength 28 WEP so, the icon for Brezenbeck is wrong, the others look fine.
*** Bug 202864 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Fixed in SVN by r1009937 - fix bugs in detecting WPA 2 only networks and consolidate wireless security detection in one place.
There are still some bugs here.
Adding the description from the downstream bug. If the connection to a wpa2 eap network fails, knm4 prompts for the secrets, i.e. opens the settings' security tab again. However it does not show the settings for a wpa eap connection but wpa psk.
using a current svn-snapshot from Fedora (20090930) I saw the network, clicked on it in knetworkmanager (kde4) and got a window asking for details. That was pre-filled with "wep", but changing it to "wpa2 personal" by hand and entering the secrets worked fine it seems. So maybe the gui is just slightly broken (knows it is encrypted, but not the encryption used)?
also see #204113 which sounds related but also is marked as already fixed now
Should be fixed by r1042754, please test.
With Fedora 19 and KDE 4.10, I witness the same bug - the connection is shown as WPA2 when running "iwlist scan" and "nm-tool" as well as in the settings but the icon in the network management warns the connection is WEP.
