[Bug 154252] knetworkmanager fails to connect to network using dwl-g650+ (kubuntu 7.10)

[Ash]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: knetworkmanager

Using a fresh install of kubuntu 7.10 my dwl-g650+ seems to be detected
correctly (think its using the acx111 driver).  The knetworkmanager
applet on a right click shows a list of available access points with
sensible "strength" meters.  I click on my AP in the list (called
withoutwires) and provide my WEP key.  It then just sits there trying to
connect and eventually fails asking for the WEP key again.

I then turned off all encryption on the AP and tried again. This time
there was no longer a pad lock next to the AP in the list, but on trying
to connect it just does the same as before and eventually fails.

I then opened up konsole and typed...
> sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid withoutwires
> sudo dhclient wlan0

... and everything works fine.

So it looks like kubuntu sets up the card/driver correctly, but somehow knetworkmanager fails to configure it.
Any ideas why this is? or how I can use knetworkmanager with this card without having to type those lines in manually every boot?
