Re: NetworkManager Problems

I've been testing some more.  I was unable to log in, and started
re-tracing my steps. I turned off the "network" service, still no N-M
joy.  But I grew tired of typing in the key over and over, and I
installed the rpm gnome-keyring-manager.i386 2.14.0-1, and it would
not run because it could not connect to the keyring daemon.

Then I tried the MS Windows solution: reboot.

After using modprobe to load the ipw3945 module and loading the
userspace driver, then N-M did work.  After I typed in the WEP key,
then the gnome keyring manager popped up and asked for a password.
That's when I really knew I was in business!

Hypothesis 1:

what if N-M failed to connect with my WEP key because
gnome-keyring-manager was not installed?  N-M appeared to be doing
nothing, but maybe it was looking for the keyring manager?

Hypothesis 2:

Perhaps the NetworkManager RPM should have a pre-requisite of
gnome-keyring-manager.

I wish you could keep the convo here so I can learn something from it.

 I just tried N-M again with a WEP key.  I am able to use "/sbin/ifup
home" and it uses the stored wep key in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/keys-home and it connects just fine.
That is a 26 character symbol.  It looks like this

# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/keys-home
KEY=a12345b33333c54321d12345ef

I BELIEVE that is a HEX key because in the system-config-network GUI,
it is entered with 0x at the beginning. But there's no 0x at the
beginning in the file, so what can I say? It works.

Now If I turn that off manually and try with Network Manager, what am
I supposed to do?
I tell it I want WEP 64/128 bit HEX and fill in my number.  No
connection results.

I've tried typing it into N-M with the 0x at the beginning, but that
makes the symbol use 28 characters and the connect button does not
light up.

I don't think either of the other choices for WEP would be correct
because when I type in my 26 character wep key, the "connect" button
does not light up when those other options are set.

I don't know if I need "open network" or "shared key" but I tried both
settings and nothing happens.
