Done.
** Summary changed:
- feisty network-manager unable to connect to WEP wireless
+ unable to connect to WEP wireless if keyring does not exist
** Also affects: gnome-keyring (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: network-manager-gnome
+ If no keyring exists, then n-m fails to connect to a WEP network. At no
+ point in time I was offered to create a keyring until I manually created
+ a NEW arbritary keyring.
- My /etc/network/interfaces is completely kosher, and is listed below:
-
- # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
- # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
-
- # The loopback network interface
- auto lo
- iface lo inet loopback
- address 127.0.0.1
- netmask 255.0.0.0
-
- # The wireless network interface
- auto eth1
- iface eth1 inet dhcp
-
- # PPP
- iface ppp0 inet ppp
- provider verizon

- network-manager-gnome will always be able to attach to a wired network,
- and will always fail on a wireless, WEP-enabled. Last test I had an
- active wireless connection and network-manager-gnome showed it as
- disconnected. I then selected the wireless connection on the selection
- pane and succeeded in disconnecting it. From this point on, I could not
- connect anymore -- network-manager-gnome would ask for the WEP
- passphrase, I would give it, and about a minute later the icon would
- change to no network connected.
-
- Just to be sure my network was OK, I uninstalled network-manager-gnome,
- and installed knetworkmanager -- and I now can connect to the wireless
- network.
-
- BTW -- I am running Feisty pre-herd3.
+ This bug started as a n-m only issue until I found the keyring thingy.
