Hi, I've seen problem recently on a Fedora 7 laptop using NetworkManager to connect to a wireless access point (NETGEAR WPN824v2, firmware V2.0.10_1.2.17). From /var/log/messages (attached gzipped), it appears that when the activation initially fails, NetworkManager is somehow treating the access point as if it were unencrypted. If I then use the gnome NetworkManager applet to 'Connect to Other Wireless Network' specifying the appropriate keying information, it tries again, using the correct key info (as far as I can see from /var/log/messages), but fails anyhow. In order to get network manager to associate, I have to: - stop the NetworkManager[Dispatcher] services - wipe out the .gconf information for the 'quibble' wireless network using gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /system/networking/wireless/networks/quibble - restart NetworkManager[Dispatcher] - Click the 'quibble' network in the gnome At that point, NetworkManager properly associates (after asking me the access point & keyring keys). On the next reboot I frequently need to repeat the process even though the info stored in ~/.gconf/system/networking/wireless/networks/quibble/%gconf.xml looks good to my inexpert eye. I'm using the ipw3945-1.2.0-18.4.fc7 driver from atrpms. I'm running the 2.6.23.12-52.fc7 kernel, wpa_supplicant-0.5.7-4.fc7, hal-0.5.9-8.fc7. - Dan
