Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
I'm using a Dell Inspiron Mini 9 with Ubuntu 8.04.1 (Hardy) - kernel
release 2.6.24 - 22 - lpia
I've been successfully connecting to my home wireless network based on a
Netgear WGT624 router. The network does not broadcast its SSID and uses
WPA-PSK (WPA2 Personal) security with a passphrase (TKIP).
On May 4 I installed the latest system updates (a routine I have
performed on a regular basis) and, since that time, I cannot connect to
the wireless network.
I notice that there have been significant changes to the Network Manager
and wonder if these are the source of the problem.
When trying to connect, I am told that my network requires a passphrase
but when I enter it, the message gets repeated. I've tried connecting
using the saved profile and also by attempting to connect to a "new"
hidden network - all give the same result. I have also deleted all my
saved networks and set them up from scratch without success.
My netbook successfully connects to a neighbour's unsecured network.
I have noticed that the previous Network Manager offered the choice of
AES or TKIP when entering the passphrase (with AES as the default). The
new Network Manager does not offer this choice.
