Re: Cannot connect to any WLAN with NM-Fedora 7-ndiswrapper
I think the problem solved itself. I found an updated package of ndiswrapper
at ATrpms.net, and after I installed that, it started working (for the most
part, it still takes a couple of connection attempts sometimes).
Thanks for your help,
Andrew

Sorry I took so long getting back to you. I've attached the iwevent output
as well as the relevant section of the syslog.

Cannot connect to any WLAN with NM-Fedora 7-ndiswrapper
Hello all
I don't know if it actually went out the last time I sent this, so I'm
sending it again (sorry for the repeat, if it is one).
I'm having an issue with connecting to wireless networks through NM. It will
connect to wired networks just fine, but it refuses to connect to any type
of wireless network (secured WEP/WPA or unsecured). I have checked the
syslog and found the following warning (sensitive information removed):
Oct 6 23:42:06 NetworkManager:
nm_device_802_11_wireless_set_essid(): error setting ESSID to '' for device
wlan0: Invalid argument
I know that the program can read the ESSID from the network because earlier
in the log, it has:
Oct 6 23:41:44 NetworkManager: User Switch:
/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/wlan0 / VCU
('VCU' is the ESSID)
I've tried reinstalling everything to do with NetworkManager and
ndiswrapper, and nothing seems to be working. If I haven't posted enough
information, I can post everything in the log from the time I select the
WLAN in the drop-down menu until it stops trying to connect.
Thank you for your time,
Andrew

Wireless Issues with NetworkManager under Fedora 7
Hello all
This is the first time I've used this mailing list, so I don't know if
this has come up.
I'm having an issue with connecting to wireless networks through NM. It
will connect to wired networks just fine, but it refuses to connect to
any type of wireless network (secured WEP/WPA or unsecured). I have
checked the syslog and found the following warning (sensitive
information removed):
Oct 6 23:42:06 NetworkManager:
nm_device_802_11_wireless_set_essid(): error setting ESSID to '' for
device wlan0: Invalid argument
I know that the program can read the ESSID from the network because
earlier in the log, it has:
Oct 6 23:41:44 NetworkManager: User Switch:
/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/wlan0 / VCU
('VCU' is the ESSID)
I've tried reinstalling everything to do with NetworkManager and
ndiswrapper, and nothing seems to be working. If I haven't posted enough
information, I can post everything in the log from the time I select the
WLAN in the drop-down menu until it stops trying to connect.
