Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager-gnome
I just bought a Inspiron mini laptop from Dell. It comes with ubuntu
moblin remix 9.10 preinstalled.
>From ubuntu 9.10, I can connect to my router using network-manager-
gnome. I choose the option "WEP 128-bit passphrase" and it lets me type
in my passphrase. From the network manager in moblin remix 9.10, there
no WEP 128-bit passphrase option, just a WEP/WPA dropdown box. I tried
WEP and entered the passphrase. It didn't work. I tried converting the
passphrase into hex. That didn't work. I tried s:passphrase to see if
maybe it would work. It didn't.
I tried sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome and it installed. I
then tried to open the gnome network manager. It gave some error
messages:
$nm-applet
libnotify-Message: GetServerInformation call failed: Too few arguments in reply
libnotify-Message: Error getting spec version
