Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
i'm using Jaunty (updated today) on a HP mini 2140 notebook,
if i set my wifi network to unprotected, i can connect to it.
but if i set it to wpa1, it does not work:
networkmanager tries to connect to it,
asks me the password, which i enter,
then tries to connect for roughly a minute,
then asks for the password again,
i enter it, then it tries to connect for roughly a minute,
then asks for the password again,
and so on.
the strange thing is, that when networkmanager
asks for the password again,
then in the text-field,
where i should enter the password,
a long hexa-string is pre-filled
(and not the password i entered last time)
(the laptop comes pre-installed with suse-enterprise
and when using that one, i am able to connect to the wpa1-protected network.)
lspci says this about the wifi-hardware:
08:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)
the hardware-drivers window says a binary driver called "Broadcom STA wireless driver" is currently used.

after further testing, it seems it's not completely black&white...
if i set my access-point to non-hidden (means with SSID broadcasted) WPA1,
then sometimes i'm able to connect.
if i set it to hidden, i'm unable to connect.
but even in the non-hidden-ssid case, it's not 100% sure that the connection will be established...
i was trying to find out what networkmanager is doing in more details,
but i couldn't find any log-files or such... is there maybe a way to force
networkmanager to log what he's doing?
