Proper WEP Code
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hey everyone sorry to disturb you all but what is the proper way to put your wep code in hex into the nm-applet?

Re: Overriding connections (VPN) that abuse DNS (was: Wireless DHCP overwrites DNS settings)

I have a poorly behaved VPN connection that sends NM empty DNS settings so that no DNS works when I'm connected to the VPN. I can't fix the VPN, so my current workaround is to copy /etc/resolv.conf before I connect to the VPN, and then write it over the /etc/resolv.conf written by NM *after* connecting to the VPN. IOW, I manually restore the original DNS configuration. This is annoying to say the least. My question is, is there a way to preseve the DNS settings on *just that* VPN connection so I don't have to do this dance every time? Not yet; but it can be fixed internally in NetworkManager pretty easily. Nobody has come up with a patch yet, and I haven't had time. Internally, the IP4 configs are essentially a stack with between 0 and 2 configs per device. The device's config is at #1, and the VPN config is at #2. Whenever the config stack changes, settings should get merged with the higher numbered items taking priority over the lower numbered ones. Right now, a config with a higher number blows away the config with the lower number entirely.

Attached is the syslog output. Note, I'm on Ubuntu Gutsy now, but I had the same problem on Debian Lenny about 2 weeks ago. Jason As Sourav pointed out setting your nameservers via the NetworkSettings tab will be overwritten by NM since the applications are not aware of each other. If you want to hardcode a DNS server you should do it in dhclient.conf I didn't change my nameservers. *Something* is changing them while I'm still connected to my VPN, which means that I can't access anything via DNS after about 15 minutes of being connected. I either have to disconnect the VPN, or manually change the resolv.conf back to the proper settings for my VPN connection (which will get overwritten again in 15 minutes). Annoying, to say the least.

So you should enter it looking like this: 1238220540ab55ef04382205bb uppercase/lowercase don't matter.

NJ But the associated question do you really want to set the WEP encryption code in hex rather than in ASCII, which is another option. He needs to be sure he matches the setting used on the AP. It won't work if he uses the wrong type in the applet. That said, most APs don't use ASCII passphrases (it was an older lucent thing), so I'd expect it to be a hex key, most likely.
