This laptop got Fedora 11 installed about a week ago. At that time it was
working with wireless, NM controlled, talking to a Netgear router. The
connection was smooth and pretty well trouble-free.
Yesterday I moved to another part of the house where wireless is provided by a
Netgear router acting as a switch. In theory it's the same model as the other
one, but it's actually slightly older. NM can't connect to this one at all.
It sees it, it says it has 95% strength, but it can't get the WPA key to work.
Looking at the setup screens for the two routers, the one that works well with
Fedora has the setting WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK, which I use. The one that doesn't
offers only WPA-PSK - presumably the older standard. Could it be that NM is
designed to work with WPA2?
