Hi,
I just installed Fedora 8 on my DELL Latitude D620 with Intel WLAN card and so far everything is looking really good besides that I can't get a connection to my WLAN access point. The AP is an Linksys WRT54GL, the ESSID is set to hidden and it has WPA2 PSK enabled. I've no problem connecting from WinXP In Fedora 8 I enabled the services NetworkManager & NetworkManagerDispatcher (BTW: Why are these services not enabled by default?). After logging in into GNOME I see the NetworkManager tray icon, click on it and select "Connect to an other wireless network". It then asks me to enter the ESSID and after that I can select the auth type, but there is no option for "WPA2 PSK". It offers me "WPA PSK" and "WPA & WPA2 Enterprise". What do I have to do to get get working WLAN connection with WPA2 PSK?
Thanks in advance, Bernd.

I don't know the answer but I under f7 you get WPA-Personal which I interpret to be WPA-PSK and WPA2 Personal which I assume is WPA2 PSK. This is just a guess since I have not tried it on f8. -- ======================================================================= Liberty is always dangerous, but it is the safest thing we have. -- Harry Emerson Fosdick ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@sbcglobal.net

None of these options is available in F8.

That is very strange since I thought at this point they both use NM-0.6.5.

I have the same issue. NM & WPA2 PSK worked fine under F7 but F8 doesn't work. If you find a solution I would appreciate it if you could post it to the mailing list.
