Hello. I just installed Arch last weekend and have gotten KDE and NetworkManager installed. I'm able to connect to unprotected and WPA-protected wireless networks, but when I try to use a WEP-protected one, the NetworkManager applet keeps prompting for the password. I'm sure I'm putting the right password in. Other computers are able to connect to the network. I've only been able to try one WEP-protected network so far. I have no idea what else could be wrong. Has anyone else had this problem?
I don't know the answer to your question offhand, but I suggest providing the following info to narrow down the problem: What make/model is your wireless card? (% lspci -vvv) Do you get any wifi related messages in dmesg? (% dmesg) Did it work with a different OS/distro on the same computer in the past? Which OS? Are any of the other computers running the same setup (Arch w/KDE and NM)? My guess is that if no one else is reporting the same problem, then it is probably a kernel/driver/hardware issue, so knowing the specifics of your wifi card will help a lot. Cheers, Tom
