GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 564454
nm-connection-editor always reports Invalid wireless security
Last modified: 2009-05-10 20:55:30 UTC
Please describe the problem: When I try to add my WEP encryption key, it always fails. I paste it (8ab0faa2ee10d27ee6d94df0bb) and, even when I click on "Apply", if I reopen nm-connection-editor, the box appears still empty and the following error is shown: ** (nm-connection-editor:17582): WARNING **: Invalid setting Seguridad inalámbrica: Invalid wireless security It works just fine with wpa_supplicant, then, I don't know why NetworkManager doesn't like it I am using NetworkManager under gentoo with consolekit-0.2.10 and hal-0.5.11 Thanks a lot Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
Created attachment 124631 [details] conexion This is my /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections file
I can confirm this on Gentoo (consolekit-0.2.3, policykit-0.9, policykit-gnome-0.9.2, hal-0.5.11) I have found that this happens when you have a globally configured network but the key isn't also stored in the keyring. This doesn't seem to affect being able to connect to the network, but you are unable to edit the network. My quick workaround is to edit the network, un-share the network (un-check available to all users) and re-add the key, then apply the changes. Then edit the network again and re-share it. This should add the key to the keyring and now nm-connection-editor should work as expected.
Is this the proper way of sending bug reports or mailing list has to be used instead?
Fixes were committed on April 4th. Pulling secrets from system connections should work in 0.7.1.
Thanks
