Thank you!

I tried this and failed.

I got the following after no message from KNetworkManager...

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?

Yes, and knetworkmanager is set to always allow.

Wierd, like i said in my OP, it worked fine for the past year or so.

I just disabled my passphrase (I still have the MAC locked down) for now.

Is KWallet activated (kwalletmanager -> configure)?

Okay, here's a failed one. It did so again this morning. 

It appears the password isn't being kept for some reason. Could KWallet be 
failing?

I ment the part of the log when your connection attempt failed. This part 
looks like a successfull connection attempt.

[opensuse] KNetworkManager Weirdness

2007-02-22 Thread Kai Ponte
Yesterday evening, when I got home from work, I fired up my laptop.  After a 
while, I went to check messages and found it wasn't on the intraweb. I looked 
and saw KNetworkManager wasn't running in the system tray.

Restarting it by going to root and typing in the command did nothing.

I - being a good Windows user - rebooted a few times for good measure. I also 
rebooted my D-Link router, which has been working fine with this laptop since 
I got in in July '05. 

This morning I got on and the same thing. I could not connect to my SSID, even 
with KNetworkManager now running. I COULD connect to my neighbors' 
unencrypted WiFi networks. 

Looking at /tail var log messages I got nothing about the etherweb or even 
anything about lost tokens in the ethernet:

sith:/home/kai # tail /var/log/messages
Feb 22 04:34:11 sith SuSEfirewall2: Firewall rules successfully set
Feb 22 04:34:21 sith kernel: eth1: no IPv6 routers present

user 'kai'
Feb 22 04:34:22 sith gconfd (kai-3952): Resolved

Feb 22 04:34:22 sith gconfd (kai-3952): Resolved

Feb 22 04:38:22 sith gconfd (kai-3952): GConf server is not in use, shutting 
down.
Feb 22 04:38:22 sith gconfd (kai-3952): Exiting
sith:/home/kai # 

Not sure what gconf is, but I don't use Gnome, so I am not sure if I need to 
care.

In any case, I finally got it running by completely re-entering my credentials 
for the WEP key. (The WiFi is also locked down by MAC address and only allows 
a few laptops on.)

What happened?

What else could I have done?

What should I do to prevent this?


(I actually did lookup GConf - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GConf - and see it 
is sort of like the registry. I wonder if regedit will work...)
