2006-06-05 06:28:52 monkeyhelper description Binary package hint: network-manager-gnome When trying to connect to WEP encrypted networks the network maanger cannot connect. In the syslog output it looks as if wpa_supplicant times out when trying to authenticate. It appears to be a problem in particular with the ipw2200 (intel 2200bg) drivers but could possibly affect others too. I have managed to make wpa_supplicant authenticate on the command line so it doesn't appear to be a configuration/user issue but rather the interaction between wpa_supplicant and network-manager. More information and examples can be found at : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=187571 In particular the problem seems to affect setups where 'shared key' rather than 'open key' is required.
