So what is needed here? This is a major deficiency in Linux as a viable , everyday desktop solution. Wifi is now an essential part of any OS/software installation. The abitility to connect to various wifi routers at other people's houses, cafes etc, where a WPA password is required MUST be available to the basic lambda user without the need to enter or even know the root pw or start screwing around with obscure command line editing of config files. Jeez this is 2018 , not 1990.
The above link says NM 1.10.x can handle WPS but says not more. AFAICT it is implemented in low level but there is nothing in the NM GUI widgets to actually use it. What is needed here, and is there anything actively in the pipeline? thx -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/388553 Title: Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) not supported To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/388553/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
