Bug Description

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

This is indeed fix released, it works like a charm with my old stylie Inventel router.

Is anyone able to close the Gnome Bug ?

As a GNOME bug reporter only, I can't do much on bugzilla.

this doesn't have much activity and several people say it is fixed. I would second janOld to close with "fix released".

OK, thanks for reporting that. I've closed the upstream report too, nothing has happened there for a long time.
