wireless connection can not be established

[Serdar Güler]

Binary package hint: knetworkmanager

I have a atheros wireless card. after I upgraded from kubuntu 8.10 to 9.04, I install the driver with mad-wifi as I did in 8.10. knetworkmanager sees the wireless networks, I enter the connection information but knetworkmanager can not establish any connection. My kernel versioni is :

Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04

  Installed: 1:0.7svn864988-0ubuntu8

I am using WPA personal type password and it was working in 8.10

the messages I got when I started knetworkmanager from the command line is:

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.
