intel 3945 unencrypted problem

[Carlos Pasqualini - SETI Soluciones Informáticas <carlos setionline com ar>]

Hi guys:

NOTE: mi english is very bad, so use your imagination ;)


i have a "little" problem with the Gnome Network Manager...

i can connect over wifi to wep, wpa, wpa2, wpa-psk....  all ok...

but i can't connecto to unencripted unprotected totally open
networks ?!!!
jajajajja

i don't know what's happening... it seems funny..

if i "unchek" the wireless in the gnome-network-manager (right clik on
the icon...) and run some siple commands the connections espablishes ok:

# iwconfig eth1 essid [open-network-essid]
# ifup eth1

watching what does the GNM, i belive that it connects to the wireless
but it doesn't realize that it's connected and it tries again, and
again...  and again....and then it stop tring

I use Debian Lenny, my packages installed:

ii  network-manager-gnome   0.6.5-3   network management framework
(GNOME frontend)

ii  network-manage 0.6.5-5        network management framework daemon
