Cannot connect to a Hidden SSID in 0.6.4
I'm using NetworkManager 0.6.4 in Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn. In Edgy, using NetworkManager 0.6.3, I was able to connect to my wireless network, which has a hidden SSID, by clicking on Connect to other network... and typing in the SSID. My network uses MAC address filtering, and no encryption. In Feisty, and NM 0.6.4, my SSID appears in the dropdown list of available wireless networks after having tried to connect to it a few times, just as it appeared in 0.6.3. However, whether I click on the network from the list, or connect to it by manually typing in the SSID, NM will not connect to it. I'll get the little connecting animation, but neither of the two dots will ever light up, and eventually, it will time out, and go back to saying that it is not connected to any network. I was able to use NM 0.6.4 to connect to my neighbor's unsecured wireless network, and I was also able to use Gnome's built-in network configuration utility to connect to my hidden SSID network. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal, and I'd just connect that way except that it doesn't always work, I have to go disable the card and reboot to get NM to scan for networks again, and some apps in Feisty, such as Gaim, connect to NetworkManager over dbus and won't sign in if NM doesn't report a connection. My router is an Apple Airport Express, and my wireless card is an Atheros 11g card using the madwifi driver included in Feisty. I'd really like to get this sorted out, so any help is appreciated.

Suggestion: Static WPA Networks
It seems that some users on the mailing list along with myself are having a similar problem:that is we need to connect to a particular WPA network that wpa_supplicant supports but network-manager does not.so, what if you could create some sort of /etc/nm- wpa.conf file that read like a wpa_supplicantconfiguration file, and network manager would add a menu option in the popup menu to connectto any networks you have explicitly defined in that file. This would make a nice temporary solution until the GUI configuration adds support for those protocols.As it is now, I have to disable NM, then pop open two command lines, one for wpa_supplicant,and another to run dhclient once wpa displays Authenticated The connection drops fairly frequently as well, with no indication except that my network apps stop working, then i haveto go back to my two terminals and do the same process over again, complete with retypingmy password for sudo. The entire process is a bit of a pain. If network-manager could handle networks that I manually define and configure, and reconnect automatically when they drop,it would make my life much easier.This would also make any improvements to wpa_supplicant effectively included and supported by NetworkManager instantly, even if it takes a while to update the interface.Thanks for making a great product,Zach Tibbitts - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://collegegeek.org ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
WPA support for my network
my school uses a WPA secured network, and NM can't connect to ithowever, i can connect to it just fine using wpa_supplicantI'm not positive on the details, but here's the working wpa_supplicant.conf:eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1fast_reauth=1network={ ssid=* proto=RSN #proto=WPA #key_mgmt=WPA-EAP key_mgmt=IEEE8021X auth_alg=OPEN eap=TTLS
pairwise=CCMP group=CCMP anonymous_identity=anonymous #Ulink user ID and password go here identity= password=
phase2=auth=PAP priority=4}-- Zach Tibbitts - [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://collegegeek.org

Trouble Connecting to WPA network
I'm using networkmanager 0.62 on Ubuntu Dapper, and am having trouble to connect to my school's wireless network, which uses WPA encryption.I cannot get NM to connect solely via gui, but running wpa_supplicant at the commandline made the network appear in the NM applet, and then I could connect to it fine.
However, I would like to get this working without needing to use the commandlinethe following is the conf file that will successfully connect to my network: (w/o my username and password)ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=1ap_scan=2fast_reauth=1network={ ssid=UofL_Auth proto=RSN key_mgmt=IEEE8021X auth_alg=OPEN eap=TTLS pairwise=CCMP
group=CCMP anonymous_identity=anonymous #Ulink user ID and password go here identity=xxx password=yyy phase2=auth=PAP
priority=4}how should i put this into nm-applet?also, is there a way to save the profile, so I don't have to put this info in every time?-- Zach Tibbitts -
