 AFAIK, it should just work. Perhaps someone else on the list can help.

My University uses this WPA+TKIP and PEAP-MSCHAP v2 and I have never got
it to work with Network Manager.

Let me know if you have any success

  Hi, I am using Knetworkmanager now. I have found those options you

  Is there any configuration files I need to edit? Do I need to turn on
  other daemons like wpa_applicant?

  You could, but I don't think it is necessary. I'm sure the equivalent
  GNOME applet would work, I just don't know anything about it.

  So do you mean you use KDE and run the KNetworkManager on KDE
  environment?

  I don't use GNOME, but I know there is a different applet for
  GNOME. I
  also use Gutsy, so it looks like your software likely supports
  this.

Re: Roadmap question

[John Stowers]

 Well, WiMAX bits would certainly require a configuration interface of
 some kind to be able to receive stuff like strength and maybe other
 tunables.  But GSM/CDMA cards get away without this sort of thing
 because they simply present a serial interface that you can dial and
 talk PPP over.


Posting this link so it does not get lost; some code may be useful

http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-cellmodem-plugin

The xfce cellmodem panel applet appears to do some sort of status and
strength monitoring. Not sure if you could generalise this beyond what
they have done (a whitelist) as I am not sure how standardised the
various AT and non AT command based ways are of getting signal
strength.

Network manager hangs on joining AP with ipw2200

[John Stowers]

Hey,This may possibly be a ubuntu only bug but I have had no response on the forums or the bug I filed at https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/38796
Here are my symptoms (NM 0.6.2);If the wireless interface is configured manually and the the pc is
restarted then the daemon doesnt start. This may be normal behavior
though
If the interface is left unconfigured and the pc restarted then the daemon doesnt start either.
If i start network-manger manually using --no-daemon and then start
the applet then I get the behavior attached. It never gets and IP. If
seems to need help (see below)
The only way NM now works is if I first configure the iface
manually, join the AP and confirm everything works. I then reconfigure
the iface disabling both and restart the daemon.
This way it works fine. This is the only scenario that actually works. I have attached the output for this case also.
This has only started happening in the last few days, either since the kernal upgrade or since the upgrade to NM 0.6.2I have attached the output from network manager and nm-applet to the bug report linked above.
I hope someone can help me debug this!ThanksJohn
