Quite possibly knetwork manager specific Please attach /var/log/NetworkManager. If possible try the same with a GNOME session and nm-applet. This will tell us whether NetworkManager or one of the applet is to blame. Created attachment 84639 [details]

I do not have Gnome installed as I don't use it. If there is anything else I can do to help solve this issue let me know. I also have switched back to ifup/down using pcmcia hotplug and plugd for the wired connection as it works perfectly. Is the network 'KenClaudine' broadcasting its ESSID? The AP (not network) is not broadcasting the ESSID. It is turned off for security reasons and should -NOT- need to be turned on for NM to work. Once the info has been saved NM should supply a list of connections to use. I did try connecting using NM with the ESSID broadcast turned on and it made -no- difference. (In reply to comment #6) > The AP (not network) is not broadcasting the ESSID. It is turned off for > security reasons and should -NOT- need to be turned on for NM to work. Oh, that's totally wrong. Choosing not to broadcast does not make your network more secure at all. > Once the info has been saved NM should supply a list of connections to use. I > did try connecting using NM with the ESSID broadcast turned on and it made -no > - difference. Does the desired wireless network show up in ~/.kde/share/config/knetworkmanagerrc ? I beg to differ with you, turning the ESSID broadcast off -DOES- make it more secure. As I stated in Comment #1 I have switched back to the ifup/down setup that just plain works. The contents of knetworkmanagerrc: [General] Autostart=yes [Network_psZVozri5bZjNtuB] ESSID=KenClaudine Encryption=WEP HardwareAddresses=,00:12:17:38:ED:08 Timestamp=2006,5,14,20,15,7 Trusted=true WEPMethod=OpenSystem WEPType=HEX [General] Autostart=no is this a duplicate of Bug 169783 NetworkManager: can't reconnect to known WLANs. I have had this problem with 3 different cards and drivers. Ken, if you are still with us: With openSUSE 10.2 we have introduced a new feature (called "fallback") which helps for cases where the connection to wireless networks with hidden ESSID fails. Simply drag and drop the network in the Show Networks dialog (Options -> Show Networks) to the "Fallback" group. Closing as WONTFIX as this change will not be available for SUSE Linux 10.1. |
