Is there a canonical source to RTFM? Googling gets a million hits, no relevance so far. I am trying to connect to a WEP network. I left click on the NetworkManger icon upper right, select 'connect to other wireless network', it opens a dialog, I type in network name, select 128 bit wep and enter the key, hit connect. log contents after that: [root@iprctmp1 mail]# tail /var/log/messages [...] May 22 10:25:10 iprctmp1 NetworkManager: <info> User request for activation of wlan0. May 22 10:25:10 iprctmp1 NetworkManager: <WARN> one_property_cb(): Ignorning invalid property 'name' May 22 10:25:10 iprctmp1 NetworkManager: <WARN> one_property_cb(): Ignorning invalid property 'name' May 22 10:25:10 iprctmp1 NetworkManager: connection_updated_cb: assertion `old_connection != NULL' failed May 22 10:25:15 iprctmp1 NetworkManager:last message repeated 6 times May 22 10:25:15 iprctmp1 NetworkManager: <info> wlan0: didn't receive connection details soon enough for activation.

Is there some other service/daemon that should be running? Here is a big blurb of relevant(?) info: [root@iprctmp1 mail]# iwconfig; lspci; rpm -q ipw2200-firmware; /etc/init.d/network status; /etc/init.d/NetworkManager status; /etc/init.d/NetworkManagerDispatcher status; /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant status; dmesg | grep -i wlan0 lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. wmaster0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"" Mode:Managed Channel:0 Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=0 dBm Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2346 B Encryption key:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 sit0 no wireless extensions. 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82852/82855 GM/GME/PM/GMV Processor to I/O Controller (rev 02) 00:00.1 System peripheral: Intel Corporation 82852/82855 GM/GME/PM/GMV Processor to I/O Controller (rev 02) 00:00.3 System peripheral: Intel Corporation 82852/82855 GM/GME/PM/GMV Processor to I/O Controller (rev 02) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 01) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 01) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 01) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-M) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 01) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev 81) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801DBM (ICH4-M) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 01) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801DBM (ICH4-M) IDE Controller (rev 01) 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01) 00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 01) 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5705M Gigabit Ethernet (rev 01) 01:01.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI7510 PC card Cardbus Controller (rev 01) 01:01.1 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI7510,7610 PC card Cardbus Controller (rev 01) 01:01.2 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments PCI7410,7510,7610 OHCI-Lynx Controller 01:01.3 System peripheral: Texas Instruments PCI7410,7510,7610 PCI Firmware Loading Function 01:03.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4309 802.11a/b/g (rev 02) ipw2200-firmware-3.0-9 Configured devices: lo eth0 Currently active devices: lo eth0 NetworkManager (pid 8619) is running...
