Hello,
I've tried to post this as a "bug" but can't get it to "take". Probably me. Anyway:

Problem establishing wifi connections.  Tests have been conducted using WPA/WPA2 PSK networks, 64bit LL3.0 and two systems:

  • MSI U180 netbook with "Qualcomm Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) driver: ath9k"
  • Dell Inspiron 1525 using an RTL8088CUS based dongle (rtl8192cu driver).
What happens is this:

  • Click on network icon shows list of networks, including that wanted (SSID "visitors").
  • Clicking on a network name causes request for the key which seems to be accepted but no connection is established. (At this point a file /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/visitors - opened as administrator - has been created but does NOT include the key.
  • Network icon/Edit Connections permits the key to be added, after which connection becomes possible and the key shows in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/visitors
Problem occurs both during installation and on installed systems.

Am I alone in having this problem?

Regards,
Richard.
