I wish you could keep the convo here so I can learn something from it. I just tried N-M again with a WEP key. I am able to use "/sbin/ifup home" and it uses the stored wep key in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/keys-home and it connects just fine. That is a 26 character symbol. It looks like this # cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/keys-home KEY=a12345b33333c54321d12345ef I BELIEVE that is a HEX key because in the system-config-network GUI, it is entered with 0x at the beginning. But there's no 0x at the beginning in the file, so what can I say? It works. Now If I turn that off manually and try with Network Manager, what am I supposed to do? I tell it I want WEP 64/128 bit HEX and fill in my number. No connection results. I've tried typing it into N-M with the 0x at the beginning, but that makes the symbol use 28 characters and the connect button does not light up. I don't think either of the other choices for WEP would be correct because when I type in my 26 character wep key, the "connect" button does not light up when those other options are set. I don't know if I need "open network" or "shared key" but I tried both settings and nothing happens. pj On 6/8/06, Thom Paine <painethom@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
I don't have WPA running on the AP yet, but I want to get there. I am unable to have NM manage my wired and wireless connection, which is the plan. It attempts to get connected, and I can click the NM icon and pick my AP from the list and click connect, but it fails to connect. Is there some way I should delete all my network config stuff and start over from scratch with just NM? Should I take this to the NM list?
