kde-plasma-networkmanagment broken!

[Neal Becker]

Was working OK on F10.  Now, with F11
kde-plasma-networkmanagement-0.1-0.11.20090504svn.fc11.x86_64

No longer will connect to my wireless WPA.  Keeps asking for password.

I gave up and tried nm-applet.  Connects fine.

Yeh I am able to replicate this problem as well. Also having the same
problem in another distro.

Do you remember the last working build?

Whatever was the current F10 update, as of yesterday.

That would be kde-plasma-networkmanagement-0.1-0.11.20090504svn.fc10, i.e.
basically the same version as on F11... Maybe something in NM itself
changed?

Maybe.  It works very fast and reliably under F10 until update to F11, now it 
is 100% broken.

Of course, I also updated about 2000 other packages :)

Another possible suspect is the kernel.

Of course, it does work with nm-applet...

If I compare the logs for the case that failed with the one that succeeded, I 
see a variety of differences - it's hard to say what is important.  There is 
one obvious difference, though:

The one that fails:
Jun 10 20:00:44 nbecker1 NetworkManager: <info>  Config: added 'ssid' value 
'nbecker'
Jun 10 20:00:44 nbecker1 NetworkManager: <info>  Config: added 'scan_ssid' 
value '1'
Jun 10 20:00:44 nbecker1 NetworkManager: <info>  Config: added 'key_mgmt' value 
'WPA-PSK'
Jun 10 20:00:44 nbecker1 NetworkManager: <info>  Config: added 'auth_alg' value 
'OPEN'
Jun 10 20:00:44 nbecker1 NetworkManager: <info>  Config: added 'psk' value 
'<omitted>'

The one that succeeds:
Jun 10 20:01:35 nbecker1 NetworkManager: <info>  Config: added 'ssid' value 
'nbecker'
Jun 10 20:01:35 nbecker1 NetworkManager: <info>  Config: added 'scan_ssid' 
value '1'
Jun 10 20:01:35 nbecker1 NetworkManager: <info>  Config: added 'key_mgmt' value 
'WPA-PSK'
Jun 10 20:01:35 nbecker1 NetworkManager: <info>  Config: added 'psk' value 
'<omitted>'

Notice the 1st case sets 'auth_alg' to 'OPEN', while the 2nd doesn't set 
anything.  Don't suppose that is significant?

auth_alg=OPEN is wrong for WPA, only unencrypted and WEP are "open".

Still works for WEP.
