CVS-1-27



The changes made this afternoon have made NM fail to make a wireless connection. syslog shows an attempt to make an Open System connection, which would normally be successful. Then an attempt is make to make a Shared Key connection. No connection is made. After stoping NM and NMInfo, iwconfig eth1 shows

eth1      unassociated  ESSID:"mosswap"
         Mode:Managed  Channel=0  Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00
         Bit Rate=0kb/s   Tx-Power=20 dBm
         RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xx Security mode:restricted
         Power Management:off
         Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0
         Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:1  Rx invalid frag:0
         Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

Note that the essid and key have been set but no MAC address has been set for the AP. This is where the problem lies.
