I think that something that prevents automatic connection to a network that you previously trusted is still worthwhile. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
Re: [Sugar-devel] Test request: Wifi encryption changes...
Clear network settings does have other uses, even in the absence of bugs: you may want to remove a network from being autoselected, or remove a password for a home network before lending your device to someone. In the absence of a per-connection editor (like nm-applet has), "clear network settings" gets the job done. --scott On Friday, February 12, 2010, Martin Langhoff wrote: > Hi lists, > > I've recently been working on wifi & wpa association issues on the > 8.2.x releases (F-9, NM-6.5, Sugar 0.82) and there is bug I would like > to ask people to test for with Strawberry (of F11 images on XO), > Blueberry and the 0.87 SoaS builds. > > I have definitely seen it a long time ago, and it was known, but it > wasn't on dev.l.o as an open bug so I tracked it as > http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/10021 > > To repro you need an XO or SoaS and an access point... > > * Setup an AP with WPA or WPA2 encryption, with a passphrase > * Connect to it from XO giving the right passphrase > * On the AP, change the passphrase > * On the XO, reconnect.

Test request: Wifi encryption changes...
Hi lists, I've recently been working on wifi & wpa association issues on the 8.2.x releases (F-9, NM-6.5, Sugar 0.82) and there is bug I would like to ask people to test for with Strawberry (of F11 images on XO), Blueberry and the 0.87 SoaS builds. I have definitely seen it a long time ago, and it was known, but it wasn't on dev.l.o as an open bug so I tracked it as http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/10021 To repro you need an XO or SoaS and an access point... * Setup an AP with WPA or WPA2 encryption, with a passphrase * Connect to it from XO giving the right passphrase * On the AP, change the passphrase * On the XO, reconnect. The reconnect will try to use the stored passphrase, fail, and ask for a new passphrase. However, NM ignores the new passphrase. Similar issues are likely to exist with changing between no encryption, WEP, WPA, WPA2. Hopefully this is fixed in newer NM + Sugar, but it is something nobody has been testing, and it does mess things up in the field so we need your help... If this gets fixed, then we can remove the ugly "delete network info" button from the control panel (which is just a workaround for this). (Why am I asking for this? I don't have equipment at all at this moment, as I am "on the move".) cheers, martín -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
