Network Manager cannot connect to a WEP 128 network

[Daniel Lombraña González]

When I try to connect with the Network Manager application to the 128 WEP network I get always a pop up asking me the passphrase. The truth is that the key is correct and if I do it by hand with the next commands I get connection:

iwconfig eth1 essid ID key KEY restricted
dhclient eth1

I don't know why NM cannot get an IP from the network.

I dont know why this bug is attached to BAZ, I wont it at Network-manager. Could some one change the project?

Thanks

I got the same Problem,
I had change the id from AP from 3 to 1. With 1 id works well. Got ip. Try that.

I guess there is a bug with NetworkManager to set WEB id.

Please, did someone get the same problem or have some solutions for wep id?

thanks all

Hi,

which chipset/driver are you using?

Hi Alexander,
I had tested in two computers in to others APs. I got the same bug.
+ Intel Pro/Wirelss 2915ABG ---Driver - ipw2200
+ Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless ---- Driver - bcm43xx

I can`t see in the Network Manager the option to change wep id(1,2,3,4),
just have the options to put the key and ESSID. The key can be hex, others.
See the Attached file.

The Best Regards,
Stanley

I've got the same problem on Hardy Alpha 4.

from lspci:

05:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02)

Now I'm using wicd and everything is ok.

[Michael Lustfield (michaellustfield)]

BAM - Exactly the bug I want to report.

First of all, I need to note that the afore mentioned method of connecting to the wireless network via command line worked 100% for me and I want to kiss you for it because this is a mission critical system.

Secondly, I want to note that I needed to disconnect the wired and then perform the commands for a successful connection.

Third, the good stuff:

06:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61)
Linux eaglei 2.6.24-12-generic #1 SMP Wed Mar 12 22:31:43 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Connection to my home WPA2 connection seems to usually work fine.
Trying to connect to my universities wireless which is WEP w/ a 10 char hex key lead me here.

Don't know how much help this is - but I was happy to find a work around and will be happy to help get this moving along.

[Michael Lustfield (michaellustfield)]

How can we move this to Ubuntu rather than Bazaar???

[Michael Lustfield (michaellustfield)]

I flagged this as a duplicate to get it established in Ubuntu specifically.

[Jaime Carpenter (j.carpenter)]

I'm having the same problem connecting with WEP 128 on Hardy (beta) and Dell D520 laptop with Intel 3945. Please help.
