Re: How to connect to a WPA network that uses 10 hexadecimal digits as password
WPA-psk is the basic method which uses any passphrase of 8 to 63 chars. As far as 10 digit hex, are you sure it is not a WEP 64 hex key because that would fit the description better. -- John On Wed, Apr 8, 2009 at 2:06 AM, Jaap A.

How to connect to a WPA network that uses 10 hexadecimal digits as password
Hi, I'm in a hotel currently and the wifi uses WPA encryption and password is a 10 digit hexadecimal number. When I use this number in Windows it works fine. However if I use NetworkManager it doesn't. If I look at the password that's actually being stored by NetworkManager I a hexadecimal number that is much larger. I'm assuming that's the hash of the password I'm entering. However I think in this case it should not take the hash but use the 10 digit hexadecimal number directly. Is this possible in NetworkManager? Are my assumptions correct? (I've never seen this WPA with a 10digit hexadecimal password before) Thanks Jaap ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
Novacom GNS-60IU - how to add support
Hello! I have Ubuntu 9.04 and Novacom GNS-60IU - GPRS USB modem. Modem works fine through manual configuring and "wvdial". It registers in system as /dev/ttyUSB0. I noticed, that Network Manager does not recongnize my modem... I have experience in using git and want to add support of this modem in NetwokManager. How to do that? ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
Re: Generic IPSEC vpn plugin
On Tue, 7 Apr 2009, Peter Robinson wrote: Openswan has a GSoC project submission for this. One of the issues is the architecture of NM, which focusses on user-based, and the the architecture of ipsec, which is host-based. This creates some issues, one of which is where and how to store and pass user/host credentials. Well an ipsec vpn can be either a site-to-site tunnel which is system wide, but it can also be client side which is just like vpnc or any of the other current vpn ones which would be user based. I wouldn't have thought it would be any different to the issues that were had with the system wide ethernet vs bringing it up on login. There is only one ethernet. There can be many tunnels, some might even conflict between users who are logged in. Also, ethernet has no credentials, while for IPsec and L2TP you are talking about X.509 certificates, PSK's, username's and passwords. Openswan, xl2tpd and NM need to agree on where this information is stored, and they all have their own methods now, and now everything can be passed via the commandline. By next week we should know if this project is starting. We did get a few applications for this. Awesome! Out of interest is there a list of the network manager gsoc stuff for NetworkManger? Feel free to add me to the testing list. I have access through my job for testing of either site-to-site or client side IPSEC with cisco PIX, cisco IOS, Alteon VPN concentrator, juniper netscreen, fortigate and checkpoint firewalls. That probably covers most of the enterprise stuff out there.
