Hi,

I am trying again to use NetworkManager, but am having trouble getting it to connect. I have a WPA-PSK network, and can connect manually using wpa_supplicant and a simple dhcpd request. NetworkManager fails to connect, however. It prompts me for a passphrase (why? it is in my wpa_supplicant.conf) and then just churns and fails. Any ideas for me?

Thanks,
Brian

As far as I know, NM does not take care of your wpa_supplicant.conf
since it stores networks information into the gnome-keyring, so
I think you should write down your passphrase when the passphrase-dialog
appears (first time only) and it should connect.

Right.  The config isn't pulled from wpa_supplicant.conf, partially
because it's fundamentally user-specific config, not system config.
Pushing the config info to wpa_supplicant on the fly is much more
flexible.

Dan

I'm not sure what you mean, pushing it into wpa_supplicant.conf.

Thanks,
Brian
