I am experiencing a very strange anomaly with the Fedora 7 KDE Live
CD on my
Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop.
NetworkManager works fine with the wired interface (Broadcom 440), and the
Wifi connection works fine (Intel 3945) when I use WPA security (pre-shared
key with Linksys 802.11g AP), but is does *not* work correctly when
attempting to connect to a completely OPEN access point (DLink 802.11b AP
with no encryption).
By circumventing NetworkManager I can connect to the OPEN AP just fine. When
I revert to Fedora Core 6 (installed on HD) everything works fine (including
NetworkManager with both WPA and OPEN AP). So the problem is experienced
only when using Fedora 7 with NetworkManager associating with my OPEN AP.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
I haven't had this problem with the liveCD specifically, but I've
noticed something almost identical with NetworkManager on my fc6-based
laptop with an F7 kernel. Because of the hacky nature of my setup I
haven't reported it to anyone yet....
