Networkmanager seems to ignore WEP code

Rate this Message:
This is how it goes... Networkmanager was working fine until I did the
first update of the system. From that day on, it seems to me NM ignores the WEP key and keeps asking for the secrets again and again and again and does not connect wireless. I already checked the key several times. NM does find the wireless router (linksys) without problems. Does anyone know how to reset NM and start over or does any one could shed some light into this "black box"? Thanks a lot.

It is a bug in wpa_supplicant , see this Bugzilla Bug 453390: wifi
problems with kernel 2.6.25.9-74 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453390 . Use the previous kernel, until kernel-2.6.25.9-81.fc9 rolls out .

> Would the WPA problem affect the WEP? (For those who have forgotten, my laptop is running F9 x86_64. Up-to-date through yum daily. It has ipw3945 hardware, and I'm using the iwl3945 wifi drivers.) I read through *all* the duplicate bugs and the comments in 453390, and many people claimed that while WPA/WPA2 was whacked, WEP still worked for them. The general claim is that it was a bug in wpa_supplicant. If so, it should have *no* effect on WEP, which is implemented elsewhere (isn't it?). I find this really strange, because, I booted the new .9-76 kernel yesterday, and it connected to my AP right away. My AP is a wrt54g, V3.0, still running its original firmware. And I'm using WPA-AES encryption, (though I've been thinking of moving to WPA-TKIP and maybe changing my channel B^). This appears to be the opposite behaviour from everyone who did a me2 on that bug report! What works for them fails for me, and what fails for them works for me. Really strange. 2-3 weeks ago, I took a long holiday away from home. Brought the laptop with me because the inn claimed to have free WiFi. In fact, they had a small Airport AP running 40-bit WEP. (while I was still running the .6-55 kernel) NetworkManager found the AP just fine, but wouldn't connect. It just kept re-prompting me for the passphrase. Well, actually, it had encoded the passphrase and prompted me to reenter the encrypted 40/128 bit encoding, which was a hex string. Nothing I tried would connect. So, when I retired to my room for the night, to my surprise, the laptop found the open wireless from the house across the street! Bing, bada boom, it connected (I didn't even *ask* it to)! (no encryption, not WEP, not WPA, nothing). When I got back home, I was able to re-connect to my house. WPA-AES. It connected first try. Really strange! Now, after seeing all of the complaints about .9-76, I waited until I tried to view a DVD, and my system panicked. When I re-booted, it was the latest kernel, and I expected the WiFi to fail. "Surprise, surprise, surprise Sergeant Carter!" It connected first time. I even suspended my lappie overnight, and when I re-booted, it connected again! So, maybe I don't know what the bug is, but maybe its related to WPA/WPA2, but not WPA-AES? And I have no clue as what's wrong with WEP, as a lot of the people commenting on the bug claims they have no problems using WEP! So, here I am, not a general user of WEP, having problems getting it to work at all. Its not one of my "standard" setups. I only expect to use it rarely. But, I expect it to work when I do, so when it doesn't, it makes it really hard to fix (How do you fix your internet connection when you can't get it to work????) How am I supposed to then google for the answers?! -- Kevin J. Cummings kjchome@... cummings@... cummings@...

My WPA router at home connects up immediately and always has. WEP, OTOH, has been so bad for me that my laptop locks up hard when trying to connect to my church's 128-bit WEP network. I can only do a hard reset to get anything working. Any attempt to connect to a WEP router fails - and usually with a hard system lockup. > > So, maybe I don't know what the bug is, but maybe its related to > WPA/WPA2, but not WPA-AES? > > And I have no clue as what's wrong with WEP, as a lot of the people > commenting on the bug claims they have no problems using WEP! > > So, here I am, not a general user of WEP, having problems getting it to > work at all.

How am I supposed to then google for > the answers?! Same here - I plan to upgrade our church network to WPA soon, but for now I can't even attempt to connect at risk of a hard system lockup. I haven't found any answers for this either. I booted up an original F9 x86_64 live CD from a USB pen drive just for grins and connected up to the WEP network with no issues at all. It's definitely something that has changed along the way. -- ==================================================== By all means marry; If you get a good wife, you'll be happy.

That's the general problem with the LACK of documentation with Network Manager. What little there is, is on the web, not installed on your computer. And what there is, is mostly supposition by users, rather than facts by the programmers. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, all using Gnome in case that's important to the thread.)
