Package: plasma-widget-networkmanagement Version: 0.9.0.3-1 Severity: important
Hello, i am trying desperated to get WLAN working without problems on wheezy. One time i get a connection, then never again. I installed the network manager to have a comfortable configuration, but it seems not to have the correct rights to work.The scanning for hotspots does not work and when i manually create a WLAN connection and try to save it, it fails with insufficient privileges (see screenshot).
As you can see here i have access to WLAN functionality on the shell:
root@pc# iwlist wlan2 scan
wlan2 Scan completed :

But automatically it is not configured correct with the WPA key:
root@pc# iwconfig

This is my current network configuration file:
root@pc:/etc/network# cat interfaces
...
allow-hotplug eth6
iface eth6 inet static
...
auto wlan2
iface wlan2 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid "dd-wrt"
wpa-psk "mysecretpassword"
Why the network manager has not enough privileges?
Any other idea to solve the problem?
Best regards
Karsten
