I'll have to try the old 'turn off encryption' trick too, however the card is associating with the AP, this can be seen in both the NM output and if I watch with iwconfig while doing either NM or ifup type connections. That doesn't rule out encryption problems, but I have seen NM unable to get DHCP leases in the past F7/F8 on open networks <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=242469> (different machine and wireless controller). Incidentally, I'm not using wpa_supplicant either, this is a WEP encrypted network. I have tried starting the service though, but not explicitly configuring it beyond anything that might be done by system-config-network. -- imalone -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
