wpa does not work with networkmanager, WEP works

[beneedict]

When I try to connect to my WPA network using knetworkmanager (Kubuntu Feisty AMD64, ndiswrapper for WiFi, latest updates included), the connection usually fails at 57%. WEP and unprotected networks work fine. I found it to be more likely to work in some cases to connect to WPA when I switched off the bcm4310 card in my laptop for a few minutes, stopped knetworkmanager and restarted the card, NetworkManager, NetworkManagerDispatcher, dhclient, dhclient3 and knetworkmanager (maybe the NetworkManager, NetworkManagerDispatcher, dhclient, dhclient3 and knetworkmanager restarting steps are not necessarily useful, but I think it is more likely to work including them). I have made copies of the systemlog during connecting and unsuccessful connecting but I do not know how to save them in launchpad, to post them would be too unclear. But they look, like the NetworkManager tries to reconnect during the dhcp negotiations, thereby breaking these...

I confirm the Problem.
It stop ay 57% of configuration.
It works only on a Not Protected WiFi network.

I can't connect to a WPA-WLAN, but unencrypted WLAN works.

Do you still have this problem? I can't connect to a wpa network too ( Knetwork dosen't keep any configuration in expert configuration or certificate) !
Have you tried to connect with network-manager-gnome (using a live cd) or anything else?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Kubuntu better. The KDE3 version of KNetworkManager has been discontinued by its original authors. This unfortunately means that there will be no more bugfix releases, and updates in general will be limited to those fixing security flaws.

While we cannot fix your bug, the good news is that the applet has been totally rewritten for KDE4 in the upcoming Kubuntu 9.10 release. There is a good chance that this bug is no longer an issue with the new applet. If you find any similar or new issues with the applet included in Kubuntu 9.10, we would politely ask you to file them as new bugs against the "plasma-widget-networkmanagement" package.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.
