Network Manager suddenly doesn't like my keys

2007-01-29 Thread Michael Schwager 

Hi,
I'm running Kubuntu Edgy and I have gotten my Thinkpad T60 up and running
using KNetworkManager.  Versions:
uname -a : Linux rodin 2.6.17-10-386 #2 Fri Oct 13 18:41:40 UTC 2006 i686
GNU/Linux
wpa_supplicant: 0.5.4
network-manager: 0.6.3-2ubuntu6

Everything has been working great for about 3 weeks.  Suddenly, I fire up
Linux and I am not connecting.  I need to kill NetworkManager, open up KDE
Wallet, clear out the networkmanager entry, restart network manager, and
reenter my WPA shared key.  Then it works.

Here's what's in my daemon.log.  Can anyone tell me why it suddenly decided
to not work?  Why the bit about a new key?  I've done this twice... my key
should be fine.  ...Why would it break?  Help, I'm confused!

Thanks.

Fix for topic: "Connected wireless once using WPA, cannot connect again"

2007-01-10 Thread Michael Schwager 
Ladies and Germs,
A few days ago I submitted an email to the NetworkManager list,
regarding my laptop no longer connecting to my wireless AP, tho it did
at first.  A snippet follows.  It turns out, I fixed the problem.

My wireless SSID broadcast was off.  When I turned it on, *voila!*
wireless works.  I don't think that's right; I should be able to
connect to my wireless AP even if not broadcasting my SSID.  If I know
what my SSID is, I don't need to broadcast it.  Thanks.

network-manager: 0.6.3-2ubuntu6

Network card is an Intel 3945abg.  I'm using WPA-PSK, TKIP algorithm.

After getting it working, I rebooted into Windows.  (don't ask me
why... :-).  Used Windows for a coupla weeks, then went back to
Ubuntu.  Wireless network no longer works.

the log file.  I don't know what may have changed, because I don't
know what I could have done to change it... ;-\  Appreciate any help,
thanks.
