Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
I am using Ubuntu 9.04 and my wireless has WEP encryption.
Seems to connect correctly, the association and autentication with the AP works fine (I have static IP configuration), but can't exchange packets, nor perform arp requests (if I set DHCP, it keeps waiting for DHCPOFFER).
Setting up the connection manually with iwconfig works fine, with both static IP and DHCP.
I followed the instructions found in https:/
Currenly I am running:
luca@descartes:~$ uname -a
Linux descartes 2.6.28-11-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 8 04:38:53 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

I noticed that when connecting manually iwconfig gives me:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"WLAN_C0"
Mode: Managed Frequency:2.422 GHz Access Point: 00:1A:2B:05:DA:A9
Encryption key: <key> Security mode:open
Bit Rate=12 Mb/s Tx-Power=27 dBm

but when trying with network manager gives me:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"WLAN_C0"
Mode: Managed Frequency:2.422 GHz Access Point: 00:1A:2B:05:DA:A9
Encryption key:<another key> Security mode:open
Bit Rate=12 Mb/s Tx-Power=27 dBm
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2352 B
Power Management:off
Link Quality=56/100 Signal level:-58 dBm Noise level=-68 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
so the field Encryption key is different.
May this mean that NM has some trouble managing the key after authenticating with the AP?
