WEP is a unmature standard with no real error detection - and no real security btw. So buggy drivers that eat packets for a while will make network-manager believe that there was a discoonect, while forcefully doing things by hand might not. This is nothing that we can easily change if we dont want to abandon the main principals of NM's approach. - Alexander -- Network Manager rejects WEP keys for IPW 3945 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139080 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
