The original wpa_supplicant-0.5.7-use-syslog.patch is horrible, that is a wifi-remote exploit waiting to happen. Great that you caught that! Somebody needs to rewrite this atrocity without sprinkling sprintf around... I think you should file an urgent RH bugzilla asap. Volker On Sat, 02 Jun

Your WEP password is wrong. A glaring design flaw of WEP is that it does not give any feedback on whether the password is correct or not. ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org

Why does network manager insist on setting the pairwise/group ciphers at all? The wpa_supplicant default is pairwise=CCMP TKIP group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40 and that should cover all bases. Side effect: one less configuration option, yay! For those that transmit sensitive information via

Now that the applet is split from the base Networkmanager I can't link the applet. I'm setting a prefix=... to install everything to a custom directory, but when linking the applet it does not get the correct path for libnm-util. The following trivial patch (against NETWORKMANAGER_0_6_0_RELEASE

Now I cannot connect to our dynamic wep encrypted wireless any more. There was a new access point installed to improve signal strength, not sure if there is a causal connection. I also saw that there were some changes for ipw cards (ipw 2915 here), so I reverted them but that did not help either.
