Bug Description

I habe a wireless network called WebGate with WPA2-protection. Knetworkmanager realizes it as a WEP-network therefore it only offers WEP-configuration. (Yes, i habe wpasuppliciant installed.) The option 'configure other wireless networks' works fine, i can insert WPA2-as encryption there. But it wont connect, i guess because it's not really an 'other wireless network' but one he thinks to know (as a WEP one).

I just tried to deactivated encryption within my network but activating the connection again only worked til 28%. I use a PC54G3 Wireless 11g PCI Card from MSI. Is it not compatible with Linux?

Greetings,
Stephan

PS: nothing happens when i press "Manual Configuration ..."

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description didn't include enough information.

Launchpad Janitor (janitor) wrote on 2008-08-11: This bug is now reported against the 'linux' package

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this bug to the new "linux" package. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!
