This problem is still active with Kubuntu Jaunty (Beta) ((latest update
on 07.04.2009)).
Configuration: Dell Inspiron 1545 with Intel 5100 wlan card
Problem: Access to WEP with ASCII string as shared key
I can connect to WEP access point with a hand edited
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and corresponding /etc/network/interfaces
configuration. Thus my problem is not caused by driver or other
problems.
Somehow knetworkmanager seems to have problems, telling wpa_supplicant
the secret settings. At least the following entries in /var/log/syslog
seem to point to this:
Apr 7 11:28:00 computer NetworkManager: <WARN> update_one_setting(): Failed
to update connection secrets: 1 802-1x
Apr 7 11:28:00 computer NetworkManager: <WARN>
real_connection_secrets_updated(): Ignoring updated secrets for setting 'ipv4'.
Apr 7 11:28:00 computer NetworkManager: <WARN>

/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:
================
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ap_scan=1
eapol_version=1
network={
ssid="<ESSID>"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
auth_alg=SHARED
wep_tx_keyidx=0
wep_key0="<myCode>"
priority=5
}
==>>
The manual ifup-based approach with /etc/network/interfaces and
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf works just fine. But I want to configure this
computer, so that non expert users can connect to WEP network with a nice GUI.
I hope, that the attached information helps to trace the problem.
Kind Regards,
Achim
