[Bug 27896] [network-admin] Need iwconfig ... restricted ... to get on some networks

[Nicolai Langfeldt]

Public bug reported:

I use the /usr/bin/network-admin tool to manage my networks on a centrino with
2200 wifi chipset.  Excellent tool.

I've found that when I use this the security mode is set to "open".  To get onto
the WiFi network at work this needs to be "restricted". open/restricted radio
buttons would seem in order.  When I issue

  iwconfig eth1 key restricted 1 ....-....-....-....-....-....-..

the machine associates with the base station at once.

Thanks,
  Nicolai
