Network Manager 0.7 Preliminary Testing

**Sypher|NL** · October 2nd, 2008

My old NM-applet had the (well known) "always spinning on wired" issue. I was hoping 0.7 would fix it.

It indeed fixed it, but now I cannot use my wireless anymore. It keeps on asking for my WPA2 keys. I've tried multiple accesspoints with all different keys, but it just won't work.

Also, if i tick the 'show passwords' box, the password i see looks encrypted.

Edit: Seems like it doesnt like AES encryption. When I set it to TKIP on my accesspoints (or TKIP+AES) it works.

nm-applet 0.7 works great for me. I run ubuntu 8.04 on 2 laptops and 1 PC.

The wired connection works fine.
The wireless works with WPA2-PSK encryption on intel 2200 and 3800 wireless cards.
I can connect my 3G GSM Huewai E220 modem to the outside world.

Feature request: Would be great if I could connect to the internet using my E220 modem and share this connection with my internal LAN (all connected up with a router with no access to a regular broadband connection)
