Strange, can you please validate (using "ps aux" while the connection is in progress) if the instance of OpenVPN started by NM has the right parameters given to it.

You have to install either NetworkManager-openvpn-kde (only 10.3) or NetworkManager-openvpn-gnome. Afterwards nm-applet or KNetworkManager should show an option for configuring an OpenVPN connection.

Good point, I thougth about letting the user choose if he wants to store the keys unencrypted (e.g. in the knm config file or in a seperate passwordless wallet) a while ago too.

Open the "show networks..." dialog and delete your neighbors networks. Only your's should stay. Helmut -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Try the following: Connect to your net by using the "connect to other wlan..." option. If the connection was successful close KNetworkManager and have a look at ~/.kde/share/config/knetworkmanagerrc. There has to be a section named like [Network_...] with an entry ESSID that matches yours. Please post this section here. Afterwards open your KWalletManager, open the wallet and step into the knetworkmanager directory (if there is one). Is there yout secret stored?
