Description Christoph Anton Mitterer 2012-08-21 23:18:35 UTC 
Hi.

(This is originally from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=647620 and also bug #681668.)

When used in managed mode, NM exports the connections from /etc/network/interfaces, including WiFi connections using WPA.

It does however ignore connections, where the "wpa-key-mgmt" directive is not set in /etc/network/interfaces, which should normally be not necessary.

Just adding e.g.
wpa-key-mgmt NONE
or
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK

and NM correctly exports the connections, so this seems to be a rather trivial bug...


Cheers,
Chris.
Comment 1 Christoph Anton Mitterer 2012-08-21 23:25:41 UTC 
Connections using:
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-EAP
seem to be generally not supported, which I've reported in bug #682408.

NM bugzilla reorganization... sorry for the bug spam.

bugzilla.gnome.org is being shut down in favor of a GitLab instance. 
We are closing all old bug reports and feature requests in GNOME Bugzilla which have not seen updates for a long time.

If you still use NetworkManager and if you still see this bug / want this feature in a recent and supported version of NetworkManager, then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/

Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented (workforce and time is unfortunately limited).
