Allocate nm-connection for nma-wireless-dialog (893 bytes, patch)

Description Frederic Crozat 2011-04-19 06:17:42 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #646210 +++

When trying to connect to WPA2 networks (either WPA2-AES or WPA2-PEAP), I get "Device activation failed: (32) Failed to determine AP security" on stdout and can't configure it.

this is with NM 0.8.997 + all f15 patches from git, on openSUSE live image

The applet has now a new D-Bus method, "ConnectTo8021xNetwork" which takes the
arguments "oo" (device object path, AP object path) and will show the UI if
that AP is a WPA 802.1x capable AP, and then call NM's AddAndActivate method.

I cant reproduce this anymore (neither in 3.0 nor in 3.2), is this still a problem for you?
Comment 2 Nils Philippsen 2011-09-28 13:44:52 UTC 
Just tried it with the following version and it worked for me:

NetworkManager-0.9.0-1.fc15.x86_64
gnome-shell-3.0.2-4.fc15.x86_64

Allocate nm-connection for nma-wireless-dialog

I am using gnome 3.2. Gnome-control-center complained invalid nm-connection when I try to create a connection setting for WPA-EAP and the wireless setting dialog never showed up. It turned out that the network panel didn't allocate nm-connection properly. My one line patch works for me.

Removing NEEDINFO as there's a patch.
