Hello,

Since my update today, networkmanager seems to be broken.
There has not been any note about that i need to change something, so i expect it simply not to work because of a bug.

More exactly:
knetworkmanger: adding AP: 00:17:9A:46:A4:2D
knetworkmanager: Encryption::isValid failed, bad inputs
knetworkmanager: isValid, essid: lixinet, input; , cipherlist: 0x8117c00
knetworkmanager: serialize: msg: 0x80a56e0 essid: lixinet isValid(): false secret: method: 1

What i see there, for input there's nothing given in this case. It represents in the GUI as "No network device found". The wireless is "disabled" then in the GUI, and i can't enable it (well, i can click the button, but it has no effect, not even in the console).

Sounds like an interesting bug, but it's just - not working :(.

Kind regards,
STi
This task depends upon

btw: before the update to 0.6.5 it worked flawlessly....

the gnome plugin as well as knetworkmanager with the same result.

You need to be member of the network group to have access to networkmanager. It could be that the dbus API changed a bit in networkmanager, I had problems with the older networkmanager applet when using the new version of networkmanager. The current version works fine.

Confirmed.

As Jan suggested, I added my user to the network group and now all is well.

IMHO it would be nice if networkmanager install warned you about adding your user to the network group since this was not needed in previous versions.

Thanks.

Indeed, it works fine like this. I didn't know about this, and actually also preferred if i was noticed about this "configuration change" i need to do.

Thank you for the reply, Jan.
