That is what is sort of strange about it. This is not a problem in general with networkmanager and open networks. Usually networkmanager works. But there was something about that particular network that it wouldn't connect to. I have a vague sense it had something to do with the network ssid (maybe having "wlan" in it or something) because the log file said something about trying to set the ssid to '' as the last thing it did before it gave up.
I could see the network in both networkmanager (knetworkmanager, to be precise) and wlassistant, and get the strength of it in both. (The strength was good, at the time). I just couldn't connect to it with networkmanager. I know it's not a hardware/driver problem, because wlassistant can connect. (I don't use it normally, because it doesn't support WPA.) I have never tried wifi-radar, so I don't know what it is. - Mitch On Thu, 8 Mar 2007, Chris Wagner wrote: > Hey Mitch, can you connect to any *open* access points (i.e., access > points that do not use any encryption)?
