Hi,
I've just installed F9B. During the install, you're prompted to
configure your network interfaces, so I tried to set up my wireless NIC
(Cisco Aironet PC4800). It wasn't clear what format the WEP key should
be in (i.e. decimal, hex, hex prefixed by 0x..., case sensitivity for
hex) so I typed 0x... and hopefully my correct WEP key and the SSID.
Now the installation is complete but I can't connect to my network.
Network Manager shows the network but when I select it I immediately get
"The network connection has been disconnected". The trouble is I can't
see how to check the credentials I entered during setup. If I
right-click on NM and select "Edit Connections..." I just have 5 empty
tabs with the Add, Edit and Delete buttons disabled.
The salient /var/log/messages entries are below, it looks like my
credentials are wrong to me? Surely it would make sense to prompt me if
these are incorrect or is this set somewhere else. (If so, it's very
unintuitive).
Thanks in advance for any help or advice,
Leon...
