[Bug 348275] Re: [iwlagn] networkmanager applet cannot connect to WPA2 home network (intel 4965)

[Craig Dickson]

Following the advice people have given here, I installed linux-
backports-generic yesterday and tried my wireless again. At first it
didn't seem to help, but after I went into System Settings/Network and
deleted all the duplicate copies of my network definitions, I was able
to connect. So thanks to everyone who has contributed ideas on this.

I have to agree with Swami Petaramesh: the idea of the Network Manager
plasmoid is nice, and it's reasonably pleasant to look at, but the
implementation leaves a lot to be desired. Aside from the failure to
connect (and the lack of feedback about failure to connect), the
problems in its interaction with KWallet are really annoying. I don't
want to have to memorize the security key for my network, but in effect
that's what I have to do currently because it keeps prompting me for it
even though it's been saved (or should have been) to the wallet. The
duplication of network entries is infuriating too. Also, for one of my
networks, I filled in the BSSID to connect to, but that never seems to
be remembered.

Another problem that I've noticed is that if I change the number of
wireless networks to display (in the plasmoid's settings), the size of
the plasmoid's popup does not change, and there is no scroll bar. So
increasing that number beyond 4 is basically useless.
