 My apologies if I've posted this question twice.  I could not find it in
 my email an thought it have vaporized somehow.

 It is wireless.  I have MAC filters setup for secrity.  Could that be a
 problem?  I can force a connect by creating a new network then selecting
 my network from the list.

 Thanks,
 Alex



 
 I am sure. It will be interesting if there is a response form the
 networkmanager-list.

 You could always remove the MAC filters and see if that makes a
 difference.

 Turning off MAC filters and setting up WEP seems to have fixed the
 auto-logon problem.  Shouldn't nm work with MAC filters and no WEP?  I
 thought that would be pretty simple security.

 MAC Filters are no security at all and shouldn't be relied on for
 anything.   Regardless of this though it /should/ work with
 NetworkManager but I have seen reports of people with issues like what
 you described.What type of wireless card is this?
   
Broadcom Dell wireless 1390.  I'm using ndiswrapper with the Dell 
supplied driver.  How could someone guess a MAC address?  How would they 
get around it?

The mac address is always sent as part of the frame.  This is how each
station knows how to reach each other since the MAC Address is the
only addressing known at layer two.  Since all hosts on the network
have to know each others MAC it cannot be encrypted.  So all someone
has to do is fire up their favorite wireless discovery program to see
which MAC Addresses have an association and steal it.

Networkmanager not connecting to known network

2007-07-09 Thread Alex Janssen
I have been reading the list and snooping around in the files trying to
figure this out, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for.  I know it is
supposed to connect to a known network automatically.  It does try but
times out.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex

Can you post the relevant sections of /var/log/syslog from when it
tries to connect?  Make sure you edit out any keys etc...
