Hi,
Last night I did a fresh install of Kubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake) on a
IBM thinkpad A30. It contains a prism 2.5 chip. I installed
hostap-utils, and knetworkmanager. I have a wpa2 access point at
home.
I launch knetworkmanager, and click on my AP, the "Encryption" drop
down does not contain "WPA". If I instead use "connect to other
wireless network", I CAN select "WPA Personal" and type in my ESSID
and connect successfully.
I've been googling, and searched the archives. There is one thread
very similar to my issue
http://www.mail-archive.com/networkmanager-list gnome org/msg03192.html,
but without a solution posted.
questions:
1) Why do I not get WPA in the encryption dropdown when selecting from
one of the "found" networks?
2) How do I get WPA to be in the list?
3) If I have to use "other" networks, is there a way to save the
profile, so I don't need to retype my ESSID and Passphrase each time
connect.
4) Is there a way to make networkmanger start on boot, and connect to
a specific network?
Thanks
Jay
