wpa-psk key is stored incorrectly (stable) | |

Senior Mitglied Posts: 16777215 Registered: 2008-12-03 | Unfortunately I don't succeed to connect to my zyxel 660HW (wpa-psk) on paldo stable (build 2009-11-06).
When the CD is run, I get the feed back from the network manager: No network connection, but my ssid is displayed. I click on my ssid,
the window "wireless network authentication required" pops up
the encryption is displayed correctly as wpa & wpa2-personal (it's wpa), I enter the correct password, the window "choose password for default keyring" pops up, I enter a password and then the window "wireless network authentication required" pops up again (with a password). When I select "show password", a total different key appears (not the key, which I entered before). I have replaced the wrong wpa-key by the good one and I click ok and the the story again (a wrong key appears).
I have tested two usb wireless sticks with the rt2500 and rt73 chipset. These keys work with Ubuntu and Debian Lenny.
I have this problem for about 4 months now (tried different stable builds). |

i encountered the same problem with my last installation
what worked for me as a workaround
in a terminal you enter
wpa_passphrase yourssid yourpassphrase
in the output you look for the psk-key
psk=thecomputedpresharedkey
this key you enter in the networkmanager
.............................. When you need all the stunning features of MacOSX and Windows
Buy yourself a copy and live in peace!!

Thanks for this hint, works perfectly. I wonder what has been changed in network-manager or paldo. To me this is a heavy bug, because I only have a wireless connection.
That's the result of your hint
wpa_passphrase myssid mypassphrase
network={
ssid="myssid"
#psk="mypassphrase"
psk=thepaldopassphrase
}
