[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#427999: network-manager: Cannot connect to WEP network

[Carlos Moffat]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.4-8+b1
Severity: normal


Hi,

I'm having trouble connecting to a WEP encrypted AP with NM. I'm using a
madwifi card.


It goes through all the wpa_supplicant stuff succesfully, but it never
gets and IP, after trying DHCPDISCOVER for a while. It ends with 'No
DHCPOFFERS'. 

However, if I turn off NM and set the key manually with iwpriv ath0 KEY,
and then try dhclient ath0, it connects inmediatly. 

Cheers,
Carlos
