GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 528962
Unable to connect to wireless network
Last modified: 2008-04-19 23:40:04 UTC
Please describe the problem: NetworkManager seems to be unable to connect to a WEP protected wireless network on my Dell D630. In the knetworkmanager applet, an information field displays a message that states "Activation stage: Configuring device" and a progress bar is at 28%. However, nothing happens and the application hangs in this state for a good while before going back to using the wired network. Steps to reproduce: 1. Get a Dell D630 with an Intel PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN network adapter. 2. Go near a WEP encrypted wireless network 3. Try to connect using knetworkmanager Actual results: If this is the first time you try to connect to this network, a dialog will pop up asking for the WEP key and some other information. Otherwise, as stated above, an information balloon appears displaying a message that states "Activation stage: Configuring device" and a progress bar goes to 28%. However, nothing happens and the application hangs in this state for a good while before going back to using the wired network. Expected results: The computer should connect to the WEP encrypted network. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: I'm performing this on a clean setup of Kubuntu 8.04 RC using network-manager and network-manager-kde from the official repositories. Here's the relevant output from lshw: *-network description: Wireless interface product: PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection vendor: Intel Corporation physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:0c:00.0 logical name: wmaster0 version: 61 serial: 00:1d:e0:5f:ce:db width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list logical ethernet physical wireless configuration: broadcast=yes driver=iwl4965 latency=0 module=iwl4965 multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11g Here's what's written to syslog during an attempt to connect to the wireless network (until it has given up and connected to the wired network again): Apr 18 23:00:01 janus-stfs dhcdbd: message_handler: message handler not found under /com/redhat/dhcp/wlan0 for sub-path wlan0.dbus.get.reason Apr 18 23:00:01 janus-stfs NetworkManager: <debug> [1208559601.522622] nm_device_802_11_wireless_get_activation_ap(): Forcing AP 'MyESSID' Apr 18 23:00:01 janus-stfs NetworkManager: <info> User Switch: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/wlan0 / MyESSID Apr 18 23:00:01 janus-stfs NetworkManager: <info> Deactivating device wlan0.

Here are reports of what I believe are the same bug at both the ubuntu bug repository and the KDE bug repository (I might be wrong of course, but they exhibit the same behavior): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/knetworkmanager/+bug/96097 http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130918
It looks like this was a bug in me! Apparently I had missed the combination that worked. It was supposed to be "WEP ASCII" and "Open System". Sorry about that... I'm closing the bug.
