Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: knetworkmanager
On Kubuntu 6.10 with Buffalo WLI-CB-G54A card using Ndiswrapper.
Kubuntu comes up (with a long delay where I suspect it is attempting to
connect to the wireless network) and the wireless card's lights are lit
but there is no network connection.
I tried this with a test wireless network with no encryption and I
connect fine first time - so something to do with WEP.
1) With bare bones /etc/network/interfaces file, I attempt to connect
to my wireless n/w using KNetworkManager with the correct WEP key
specified. It fails to connect and reprompts for my WEP key ...
2) If, whilst it is doing this I enter "sudo iwlist wlan0 enc" to check
my WEP key, I see a strange key of A7D5-CFE7-B0B7-EB11-E518-17FE-B4
3) SO, while KNetworkManager was trying to connect I entered "sudo
iwconfig wlan0 key s:<my wep key>" and I connected fine. This works
repeatable for me.
Please let me know what extra info I can supply ... I'd like to be able
to connect to the network without having to do the above every time.
