Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates.
It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version (with the original WEP settings). When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running apport- collect 467638 and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue. ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/467638 Title: NetworkManager hangs on "Attempting to join the wireless network" Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When trying to connect wirelessly, I constantly get asked to provide my wireless key, but it ends up failing and asking me over and over again as it gets stuck in an endless loop. This has been happening to quite a few people. I am using Ubuntu 9.10 and once I finish doing a actual install on my machine, I will upload my dmesg and syslog files. If you need any more information just ask and I will try to provide you with it in hopes of getting this fixed. Also, here is a link to the thread for which this originated http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1036068&page=2 Ryan Schwenker. EDIT: I managed to fix this by using WPA instead of WEP, but if I did not change that setting on my network, this issue still is valid.
