Under F7 the wireless connected without any issues.
The I'm using plain old WEP on the access point. When I attempt to
connect the first NM pip turns green immediately but the second pip never
does.
Eventually I'm asked for the WEP key. Entering it again does no good.
I've used system-config-network to statically enter the WEP key and
specify the
SSID. Nothing works. I've never been able to connect under F9.
I notice that I'm never asked to unlock the keyring as I was under F5 and
F7. Are there any other suggestions as to what I can try?
I suppose if desperate you could stop NM,
and go back to giving the settings
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth?
Actually, I have had the opposite experience.
After endless problems with NM in Fedora-7 and Fedora-8,
it has recently (I assume because of an NM update)
started working faultlessly in F-8 and F-9.
It is a major drawback in NM, in my opinion,
that it is very hard to diagnose what is wrong
if it is not working.
As far as I can see, the only information available
is that in /var/log/messages ;
"grep NetworkManager /var/log/messages" has occasionally
given me something helpful,
though usually I find the entries unintelligible, eg
"(eth1) Supplicant interface state change: 1 -> 2".
